Even clowns are offensive these days, because of the recent clown crime wave.
Witches? They are offfensive to women in the middle ages.
A hobo? How insensitive to homeless people!
A panda costume is insulting to Chinese people.
French maid costumes are belittling to French people.
Lederhosen / St. Pauli girl outfits ridicule Germans and Swiss people.
Fairies? What, are you trying to mock LGBT? How dare you!
