Skin Tone: Balwinder Marwaha and Jessie Loyer

skin tone: The outfits often involve racial stereotypes and even include darkening your skin tone as part of the makeup, according to CTV. The results of the poll say that 30 percent of Albertans think it's okay for their kids to dress up as ethnic stereotypes and 44 percent think that darkening your skin to match the ethnicity of the costume is perfectly okay too. A poll, by Insight West, shows that Alberta is the one province in Canada that is more likely to embrace culturally insensitive or just plain offensive costumes. Balwinder Marwaha, who runs the Halloween Alley store in southeast Calgary, says he stocks a number of the questionable costumes. Jessie Loyer, an indigenous expert at Mount Royal University, opposes the idea. As long as they fit and they represent, they don't disrespect that culture or religion; we'll bring those costumes into the stores because people want them. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
