Trump is Making Halloween Great Again for College Students
“A keyword search for admonitions from campus leaders on offensive Halloween costumes this month came up empty, a stark contrast to trends from the past decade.”
For years, Halloween has been plagued by progressive concepts like cultural appropriation. That is ending.
The College Fix reports:
Under Trump 2.0, colleges celebrate Halloween instead of warning against ‘offensive’ costumes
President Donald Trump seems to have helped Make Halloween Great Again.
Under his anti-politically correct administration — which has ardently warned administrators to stop pushing divisive DEI concepts — colleges and universities across the U.S. seem to have eased up on their once-prevalent admonitions regarding offensive Halloween costumes.
Instead — they’re planning pumpkin carving workshops, costume contests and door decoration events, according to a recent keyword internet search by The College Fix.
A keyword search for admonitions from campus leaders on offensive Halloween costumes this month came up empty, a stark contrast to trends from the past decade.
For many years, campus leaders made it their mission in October to warn students what not to wear, with “unacceptable costumes” including “wearing Native American headdresses, dressing up as a ‘Mexican’ by wearing a sombrero, dressing as a ‘geisha,’ any form of blackface.”
Students were chided against committing a “cultural appropriation” offense if the outfit did not originate from one’s own culture.
Posters declaring “it’s a culture, not a costume” used to pepper quads nationwide, with special workshops hosted on campuses to hammer home the point.
For instance, Princeton University held its “Conversation Circles: Cultural Appropriation and Halloween” event in 2017, in which students learned about “the impact of cultural appropriation, Halloween, and why culture is not a costume.”
The University of South Indiana hosted a “Culture not Costumes” Halloween workshop that argued “clothing, symbols, music, art, religion, language, and social behavior” are all elements of cultural appropriation, warning students not to dress as “Pocahotties” and “sexy Indian Princesses” if they do not come from such cultures.
Furman University in South Carolina was put on the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education’s “Speech Code of the Month” in October 2019 after it threatened students with investigation if they “encourage people to wear costumes or act in ways that reinforce stereotypes or are otherwise demeaning.”

Does the cultural appropriation ban apply to college kids dressing up as members of Hamas and Hezbolah? and cosplaying terrorists, or sorry, uber violent freedom fighters ( what did you think decolonization was essays, poems not it’s kidnapping elderly people, toddlers, and infants while raping young women). Their hateful, bigoted rape culture is not your costume!
Remember: it’s offensive to cosplay as a member of a race you are not… unless you want to run the Spokane NAACP or get elected to the presidency.
(Bonus lolz: I googled “Rachel Dolezal” just to confirm what NAACP office she held before posting this, and was informed by the Wikipedia blurb that she is a “transracial activist.” So kids, if any Karen gives you s* about your costume, tell them you’re “transracial” because it’s an official thing now! Also, tell them they’re a bigot and a Nazi, for good measure. Abusing them will give them a thrill up their leg and you’ll get extra candy.)
So the costume restrictions and warnings have stopped. How many are going to walk around with Charlie Kirk freedom shirts on and fake blood on their necks?
It’ll make for great memes.
“Here’s one of the people who told me I couldn’t wear a sombrero for Halloween,”
ok
I want to see everyone dressed as a jewish rabbi and the reaction of the blmplo crowd
As opposed to a Sikh or Zoroastrian Rabbi?
So no native Indians could dress as a Viking?
