A Southern California immigrant rights group has asked Target stores to stop selling an "illegal alien" Halloween costume it says is offensive to immigrants.
The costume, posted on Target's web site, features the mask of an alien with a green card and an orange jumpsuit with "illegal alien" written across the front.
Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, says she wrote an e-mail to the Minneapolis-based retailer Friday calling the costume "distasteful, mean-spirited.
How can this be distaste full? Does the alien look like anything or anybody on earth?
This politically correct crap is becoming way to serious folks!
Actually that guy does look like a neighbor - but, that IS ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteYou have to sit back and either laugh or cry at the absurdity of what is happening.....or project how things will be 10 or 20 years from now if this continues...
ReplyDeleteSure don´t want to offend any illegal aliens.
ReplyDeleteCalypso: What is ridiculous? The costume or the fact it´s being called offensive?
Personally I like a little offending now and then!

ReplyDeleteThe fact that anyone would have enough time to waste to complain about a silly Halloween costume I think.
