If your daughter is white and wants to be Disney princess Moana this Halloween, you had better put the kibosh on that idea quickly.
An article published in Cosmopolitan magazine is garnering criticism because it claims that white parents must prevent their white daughters from dressing up as Moana this Halloween. The reason? Because it’s racist.
The reaction was very strongly against the premise of the article — which some said is hypocritical coming from the left — while many claimed banning white kids from celebrating other cultures is counterintuitive to the point the author made:
Six year olds can be trusted to choose a gender, why not a Halloween costume?

What a great way to foster diversity in media - create lovable characters that only people of the right race can fully enjoy. Good idea. 👍
