I wish I could say “I can’t believe it,” but unfortunately I can. In this world of political correctness, Target and Toys R Us have stopped selling the Illegal Alien costume shown below as a result of complaints from the United Farm Workers, and probably other idiots as well. I am having a real hard time with this because there is no way this costume depicts anybody with Latin blood in them.
The United Farm Workers were the ones that made an issue out of it. I wonder if any of their members could be illegal aliens, and that is why they are so sensitive to the issue. Go here to see what was posted on their site.
It turns out there was another costume that upset them to.
I have to admit the mask above does remind me of Cheech Marin in is glory days, but if a Halloween costume or mask offends anybody, I guess they just shouldn’t buy it. And if it would really upset you seeing a trick or treeter at you door wearing one of these, you can refuse to give them any candy.
I think everybody just needs to lighten up.
