With Halloween rapidly approaching, kids everywhere are searching for their costumes. When I was younger, all of the girls were Disney princesses and the boys were superheroes, so it is not shock that kids today continue to look toward entertainment for costume ideas. Disney recently put out a costume based on their new movie Moana:
As you may imagine, this costume was instantly controversial. The idea of wearing someone's skin was deemed as cultural appropriation. However, Disney removed the costume from online and apologized, stating that the makers of Moana put a lot of work into respecting the Polynesian culture and this was just a slip up. How many times should we forgive Disney?
