I think there is an interesting question around generic vultures appropriation and Halloween costumes if Cowboy, Indian, Ninja, Samauri, Geisha, and other cultural generic costumes are offensive or not. And I think it depends on the costume and what is the intent of the wearer and the venue it's displayed in.

If you say so.
