As Halloween approaches, we took a closer look at some questionable "Mexican" costumes out on the market. And by questionable, we mean insensitive/unintentionally/intentionally racist.

The experience was...well...no mames.
First, we had this lovely "Hey Amigo!" costume, featuring a sombrero, a huge mustache, a serape, and a donkey.
People were not pleased.
At all.
Next up, there was the "Tequila Shooter" costume, featuring a sombrero, a miniskirt, and a tequila holster.
People were confused.
But the ridiculousness had nothing to do with the tequila.
Finally, there was this very simple "Taco*" costume.
While some didn't mind the costume...
...others were more concerned about the taco's authenticity.
In conclusion, be mindful of what you wear, don't turn someone else's culture into a costume, and have a happy Halloween.
