Re: High Schooler Dresses up as KKK member for Halloween

most good costumes (along with most good jokes, most good art, and most good literature for that matter) are going to be offensive to certain people.

yeah. i've worn costumes that were offensive (a few years ago i went as a "dangerous minority"), but you would not hear me say that no one should have been offended. in large part i was wearing them b/c they were offensive in some way or another, and i'm sure this kid knew what he doing. you can't wear a costume explicitly for shock value and then get defensive when you are called out.
