Hilary Duff and Jason Walsh attended the Casamigos Halloween Party in 2016 dressed as a Pilgrim and a Native American.

Duff has since apologized for the costumes, saying on Twitter, "I am SO sorry to people I offended with my costume. It was not properly thought through and I am truly, from the bottom of my [heart emoji] sorry."

As much as we love them, this wasn't the best choice. In 2008, the couple dressed as a "sexy Indian" and a cowboy. Native American appropriation isn't okay now, and it wasn't then either.

Yup, ANOTHER ONE. Oh, and there are plenty more too. Nicky's sister Paris actually dressed as a Native American as well a few years prior.

Not long after the allegations of child sex abuse at Penn State, comedian Jeff Ross dressed as late football coach Joe Paterno, accompanied by two shirtless football players. Disgusting!!!

Obviously, there are SO many things wrong about this.

Yes, that is a swastika on Harry's shirt. These costumes were inspired by a 1978 photo of Sex Pistols member Sid Vicious and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen. Obviously sporting a Nazi symbol is offensive! The couple has since apologized.

In 2015, Kelly Osbourne posted this photo on Instagram with the hashtag #CallMeRachel. The real Rachel Dolezal had just resigned from the NAACP after making headlines when her parents revealed she was white and not black like she claimed.

Back in 2005, Prince Harry caught a heck of a lot of backlash (as he should've) when he dressed as a Nazi to a costume party. Ugh, why?!?
