I think that part of the campaign was just the product of political correctness gone over-board.
This has all been discussed in this thread. Agree or disagree, dressing up as any representation of another race, ethnicity, and culture of people can be considered a mockery just as easily as it can considered a homage. People who still choose to do so are doing so at their own "risk."
