ETA: I never said that Italian Americans dressing up as guidos is "okay." I said that it is up to Italian Americans, not nonItalians, to battle that amongst eachother.
As for the Blacks and thugs thing, if it is not okay, Black folks will be the ones to battle over that because it is a different topic than whether nonBlacks should dress up as "Black thugs."

You must be in the wrong thread. I never said that nonBlacks cannot discuss what Blacks dress up as. Discuss all you want to with the understanding that the opinions of nonBlacks will not be the determinant.
This topic is about nonBlacks dressing up as Blacks or some caricature of Blacks, to which I responded that nonBlacks need to leave the dressing up as Blacks to the Black folks. I said the same for nonItalian Americans not dressing up as Italian Americans or caricatures of Italian Americans. If Italian Americans want to dress up as guidos it is completely up to Italian Americans.
