Fox News host Jesse Watters of “Watters World” hit New York University to ask college students what Halloween costumes they found offensive and if President Trump “scared them.”
Unsurprisingly, the responses were absolutely ridiculous.

Highlights of the clip include Watters asking one female college student what costumes were offensive, to which she replied with the “politically incorrect,” term “Indians.” Watters corrected her saying “Native American,” and then the embarrassed student mumbled convoluted diatribe about “complex structures,” disqualifying whites from dressing as Native Americans.
Watters was unconvinced.
One man told Watters that President Trump scared him and his friends a great deal — So much so that his Californian friends are running bomb drills.
College campuses across the U.S. are in full crackdown mode, banning costumes they think are offensive.
Princeton University sent out the following guide to help student discern if their costume is offensive:

Various College campuses will hosts discussions about offensive Halloween costumes.
Campus Reform reports:
Humboldt State University, for instance, plans to host a discussion Monday on how “cultures are disregarded, mocked, or simply dehumanized” by Halloween costumes, encouraging students to avoid “cultural appropriation” in their costume selections.
Several other schools, such as Oregon State University, Michigan State University, and the University of Colorado-Boulder, will host similar discussions on the meaning of “cultural appropriation” in the context of a “critical examination of Halloween costumes.”

The University of Michigan also published a statement to its website to offer its annual admonition against cultural appropriation, saying such practices are “often adopted by those who hold power and privilege in society, while the cultures they are misrepresenting tend to be marginalized and disenfranchised.”
