Be prepared to take some flack if you’re going to be wearing a costume that may be deemed as politically incorrect this Halloween.
Even creepy clowns have made the list of taboo costumes.
“The Caring Clowns, a society of clowns that do hospital visits, are really concerned. We’ve had a couple of them come in and ask us not to sell clown stuff,” said Phillips.
Some of the more obvious questionable costumes that might be deemed as politically incorrect include native headdresses.
The folks at Halloween Alley in West Kelowna refuse to sell them.
“We do not have any in the store right now,” said Deborah Lawless of Halloween Alley.
And one would think that another costume that might be deemed as politically incorrect would be Donald Trump, a man accused of sexually assaulting several women. But that doesn’t seem to be registering with the consumer.
“Very popular, we’ve had the Donald Trump mask; we’re sold out of it. We got some more and sold out again,” said Lawless.
