Check out the poster campaign and accompanying discussion of cultural appropriation to learn more about this topic. Halloween is a time when this issue can be particularly visible. Students at Ohio University have created a campaign similar to CSUSM's focusing specifically about cultural appropriation and Halloween costumes called "We're a Culture, Not a Costume." After viewing these two sets of posters, read this brief article, Halloween Don't's: Avoid Racially Offensive Costumes. Write a post, approximately 250 words in length, in which you: define cultural appropriation in your own words explain how racially-themed Halloween costumes relate to cultural appropriation, using examples explain your own position on this issue, including how you would respond to counter-arguments from people who might not agree with you
