In
a recent teen vogue article, Brittney McNamara wrote about why it's not OK to dress up as a disabled person for Halloween.
They say:
On Halloween, there are so many ways to dress up that aren't offensive — and yet, many seem to flock to costumes that appropriate, belittle, and demean. While we often talk about not culturally appropriating on Halloween, it's equally as important that we don't dress up as any kind of marginalized or stigmatized group — including people with health issues or disabled people.
What do you think? How do you feel if you see someone with a cane or a walker on halloween? Or for example a 'blind referee', let us know what you think!
