Wait, last time I talked to the Mexican that speaks on behalf of Mexicans, he said the opposite. I'm confused. Maybe you guys were talking to illegitimate, fake representatives? My Mexican had official documents and holograph marked Latino passes he was giving out.

A lot of these types of people are just segregationists in a different tone.

Yeah generally dress up is fine, I think people shouldn't be barred from wearing a costume just because their race doesn't match. And for children especially, if they dress up to be a hero of a certain race, I think that is more representation of diversity in a good light.

However, IMO there is some due respect for that culture and it would be better to understand the significance of a dress one may wear, but if it's intended well most should be fine with it. Using casual stereotypes and jokes cheapen the outfit which I think can be in bad taste.

Like as long as they don't accompany it with racial slurs, I don't think it's a hate crime, just a bit cringey. It would be about the same level as if someone were to dress up as the Catholic Pope, a cardinal or a bishop and give people silly blessings.

They aren't thongs unless they come from the Thong region of Australia, otherwise they are just sparkling flip-flops

Don't be silly, thongs have nothing to do with Australia, they were invented in the 19th Century by Frenchman Philippe Follope.

Those people are just lunatics, ignore them and carry on your day as usual.
