The scariest thing this Halloween for New York moms isn’t zombies or ghouls — it’s politically incorrect costumes.
An article on raceconscious.org by Sachi Feris has been making the rounds on mommy Facebook groups. Feris writes that her 5-year-old daughter declared she wanted to be Polynesian Disney character Moana, which she worried would be “cultural appropriation.”
Her daughter’s other choice: Scandinavian Queen Elsa from the Disney movie “Frozen.”
“I had some reservations regarding both costume choices … about cultural appropriation and the power/privilege carried by Whiteness, and about Whiteness and standards of beauty,” she wrote.
