No, and neither do the children wearing this costume.

But what if? But what if? But what if? But what if? But what if?!

I’m not a white male. I still can’t see the problem.

Nah, I’m with you. This costume is from a movie celebrating Polynesian culture, not mocking it or playing it up for laughs as was the case with blackface - it’s a completely different context and not comparable in the slightest. Could this costume potentially be used in an ignorant way? Of course, literally everything…

I’ll go with “liberals are easily offended over nothing, and the people showing the most outrage over blackface are probably white, not black” for $1,000.

Maui isn’t real, unless you’re talking about the place named after him.

White folk are damned if the do and damned if they don’t.

That’s not to say Disney shouldn’t make a Maui costume at all, but it would be more respectful to simply make a costume overlay that puts the tattoos on the child’s own skin color, and they wear a t-shirt and leggings to match. While that would mean getting rid of the bulky muscles, I see that as a win-win. We’re not…

So no brown face shown? Just assumption that kids will paint their faces brown?

It is a way to give “cosplaying” children Maui’s tattoos without printing those water-based things on your children from neck to waist and all down the arms. If it were too light-colored (to match other skin-tones) you’d be offended. If it was just the leaf-toga then little boys’ wouldn’t’ve wanted it because the…

Uh... I’m brown. What else are you supposed to do for a $20-40 Halloween costume? Make the tattoos on clear wrap and effectively send kids out in their underwear? Your solution would a) never work with that many tattoos, and b) make everyone wonder who it's supposed to be with a shirt and pants on (especially because…

Recognizing that as a 45 year old man I can still juggle a soccer ball pretty well, I would also say comparing this dude to Rodney Mullen is like comparing me to Diego Maradona or Lionel Messi. Cool trick, but the comparison is laughable.

It’s one thing to say this was a nice trick and another to equate it with the most amazing ever done. It’s denigrating to the skills of others. I don’t skate, but I also have never criticized skate trick videos, because most of them, including most involving rails, are less contrived, don't require the board…

I can’t wait for the “Really, Quite Incredibly Large, You Know, Just Very Very Large” telescope.

aw, they canceled the Overwhelmingly Large Telescope?

You(and the movie) are making the assumption that smart people have smart children and dumb people have dumb children. While I'm sure the intelligence of the parents does have an effect on a child's overall development it still is entirely possible for two idiots to produce a genus and vice versa, eugenics would not…

sterilization...because thats the logical conclusion? Lets just throw selflessness and moderation out. Certainly that couldn't be what the joke was about, aimed at both the "intelligent" and the "dumb."

Not many people know this, but Link's Awakening had the best story of any Zelda game ever.
