Gay White/Mexican Couple in Trouble For Halloween Outfit Playing A White Man And A Mexican

I think putting both of these costumes together might have been the insensitive part.
……Fucking sigh…… Mi gente…..don’t be this fucking desperate for wyt acceptance or white affection. THIS is what I mean when I talk about “white by proxy” syndrome. Fucking gross. pic.twitter.com/g5V2qqvw2a

I don’t hate the outfits, fellas. It’s not super original or very smart but the glue-on mustache and a Mexican man playing a traditional Mexican man from the 1800s in itself is fine. Due to America’s caging of thousands of South American immigrants (assuming that’s the portrayal) by members of ICE, these two costumes together are insensitive but they don’t bother me. It’s satirical. They probably aren’t dressing like this in support of a Latin American ethnic cleansing. If anyone should be given leeway in that regard, it’s a Mexican guy.
@MikeyMakesTwits effort (above) to make this poorly planned Halloween costume about white approval is gaslighting.
They get better;
And his “apology” is basically “I dont see the problem. Yall are too sensitive. My white boyfriend knows my heart.”
Hes either comically daft in his ignorance or monstrously deft in his indifference to the very real horrors & traumas that people are experiencing on a daily basis.— Its An Inner Cry, Bitch (@MikeyMakesTwits) October 27, 2019
True allies understand their privilege and work to use it for good, true allies understand their blind spots or their microaggressions and work to overcome them and learn.
This is soaked in privilege –
And none it is self aware.
Or maybe none it even bothers to care.

It’s a fucking Halloween costume and if it was a costume of a one-armed Lithuanian, you can bet your ass a one-armed Lithuanian would tweet words like ‘Bitch ass’ and ‘Microaggressions’ too. It’s the Irony on the interweb. The constant search for purity when there isn’t any, followed by calling people names for social media performance points.
Marty Fortier and Manuel Navarro are BOTH good by me and get a pass for a good idea on different nights or a great costume 30 years ago.
@MikeyMakes Twits gets the award for the greatest stretch since this one:
Don’t be a MikeyMakesTwits. Stay in your lane and ‘don’t kill flies with dynamite’. Or do so we can shit on you here for not having a fucking hobby.
