Well, it\u2019s October, and that means Halloween is coming. It also means we can expect to see the unending variety of typically<\/a> racist <\/em>Halloween costumes that pop up every year. You too can be Oriental, just for one night. Here a few ridiculous ones, with a hair-centric theme\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The above costume item was recently spotted at a Party City. Want to be a \u201cChina Man\u201d this Halloween? Apparently, all it takes is a crappy-looking moustache. It\u2019s easy. Just affix this nasty piece of hair on your upper lip, and there you go, instant China Man! Adding some fu to your manchu. (Thanks, Brandon.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But hey, why stop there? There are other fun and easy ways to be Chinese. Just try on the Chinese Man<\/a> wig, \u201can ancient style with bald front and long pigtail in the back.\u201d But even at the low sale price of $41.48, the Chinese Man wig might just be a little outside your budget. That\u2019s okay, because the Bargain Chinese Man<\/a> wig is also available for just $22.05. Because nobody should miss out on the racist<\/em> mockery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking of bargains, how about this kickass Oriental Guy<\/a> wig? The attention to detail is just tremendous. I swear, every Oriental Guy I know wears his hair just like this! That\u2019s amazing. Wearing this crappy piece of mess on your head, you will be the coolest Oriental Guy at the office Halloween party.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally, my favorite one. The Old Chinese Man<\/a> wig! I have no idea what exactly makes this monstrosity \u201cChinese.\u201d But it apparently comes in white, gray, brown and black. And according to the website, this wig also works for \u201ceccentric recluse\u201d and \u201cprospector.\u201d Yes, I\u2019m scratching my head too. But the fun doesn\u2019t end there. There are just so many ways<\/a> to get your Oriental Mystique on! It\u2019s going to be another great Halloween. That\u2019s racist<\/em>!<\/p>\n
