Me and my friends are going trick or treating for halloween. I didnt have a costume, but I have this big afro from ages ago. So I said, why dont I go as Mohammed? as a joke. Then my friends said I was racist and disrespecting culture. I wasn't serious but I dont see how I was racist?

Nah it's not, but Mo for halloween? And how old are you? Because I've never known anyone to go trick or treating once they hit double figures with their age.

It's called scrounging where i come from. i just open the door tell them to piss off and go scrounge somewhere else like the middle classes down the way.

There are much scarier housemates you could've chosen. Can't believe that time of year is coming up already.

It's not racists if you went as Mo.
If on the other hand you went trick or treating with your mates and you dressed as an African then that is rasist. What I mean is one of your friends goes as a scary witch, the other as some ugly monster and the you dress up as an AFRICAN. hehe that's rasist because it looks like your saying "hey I need to dress up as a scary monstrous ugly villain ... hey I know!! how about an AFRICAN?!!!...... lol
If on the other hand you went as Moh then that isn't racists... your just saying Mo! is a scary monsterlike freak ... which he is. :laugh2:

It's not like Somalians are the only ones with afros, so no it's not racist.

That comes across as though you're trying to say being middle class is a bad thing ...
