OMG! Sooooo inappropriate! My DD wants to be this for Halloween!

You don't see a problem with a child dressing up as a stereotype of an Islamic suicide bomber for Halloween?

Unless someone told me I'd think she was just a creepy ass skeleton. I've never heard of this puppet. Find her a cool creepy skeleton and call it done.

For a 9 year old? I have a 10 year old son and no scary costumes are allowed at his school.

Scary costumes aren't banned here, my kids always dress up as something scary. A nine year old can handle seeing a skeleton. Scary is fine, racism is where I draw a line.

I fail to see the problem.

Fictional characters of any kind are fair game for this sort of thing.

I disagree. Just because it's fictional doesn't mean it doesn't reinforce a stereotype.

Oh well. When it comes to things like this, I don't really care. Dress up as you damn well please, if that is what you are going to do.

Maybe if your kid was the one getting bullied and called a terrorist on a regular basis, you would care.

I feel like her. I personally don't want my young kid dressing up as this character. However what anyone else wants to do is their business. That being said until this minute I never heard of this guy. Granted I live under a rock but other people might just see a skeleton. if it were me I'd just find her a scary skeleton outfit similar to but not this particular character.

Seems like the perfect costume for a 9 year old to me.

Why do you think people would have a problem with it?

Jeff Dunham is a racist piece of shit. Great parenting for letting your daughter watch that garbage.

Nothing I have ever seen about him, read about him is racist. He has an amazing talent and his puppets are funny as hell. I see zero issues with this and do not understand why you feel it is offensive or garbage, but each to their own.

He's actually quite offensive.

I've seen his act multiple times and never have seen anything offensive. Me thinks you are too sensitive.

Probably. But since this is hypothetical scenario you are presenting here, it is a non-issue. Besides my child is all grown up and on her own, and is fully capable of fighting her own battles.

It's April. No Halloween posts until at least September.

Seriously. Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday and even I think it’s to early.

It doesn’t bother me but I don’t like his comedy. That said, that would not go over very well here in Dearborn, lol. I get it’s just a joke though.
