Hrm that sucks... At my work, the majority of people are from foreign countries and basically none of them dressed up. The reason is that Halloween is mostly a North American affair. If they don't dress up, that's fine, but to go trick-or-treating - that's just cheap lol

It's the one day a year where they don't wear robes. They are being Americans for Halloween.

Sorry if that was a bit harsh - just that a lot of people actually perceive Arabs like that.

i went to knottsberry farm (its a socal themepark like disneyland exept less corporate)and since its opening they raise the american flag and play the anthem everyone turns to face it and puts a hand on their chest.well this particular day their were 2 massive arabian familys most in headrags and not a single one turned towards the flag and i overhead a guy next to me tell his little kid this is only for white people.i was disgusted here there were 200 people blacks,whites,asians,hispanics all atleast facing the flag but these arabians didnt even bother and some even snickered .its just a sign of repect for example when my class stood for a prayer i wouldnt pray but the teacher still would appreciate if i stood with the rest of the class instead of sitting like a jack ass

Hrm, maybe you should just tell them, "You do realize you have to DRESS up to go trick-or-treating..." perhaps they are unaware of the whole Halloween concept?

One piece of candy is good - giving them seaweed is better ;)

Maybe it's not part of their culture, nor their religion?
And maybe their religion forbids celebrating pagan feasts?


Why doesn't every single white, Christian American dress up? (Unless it's cause they actually follow their religion too)

Wow - that really has no context to me saying giving seaweed to people who don't dress up for Halloween.

Totally acceptable if they choose not to celebrate a pagan or Christian feast or Holiday. Wouldn't that automatically preclude "trick or treating"?

Yeah. Oh well. It is their right. Unfortunately it isn't our right to beat them into submission.

I happen to like seaweed. It'd be great if somebody gave me seaweed when I went trick-or-treating long ago. Roasted with wasabi, please. :)

That's what I was trying to say.
Maybe I didn't phrase it right.
