Macklemore fired back at his critics:
A fake witches nose, wig, and beard = random costume. Not my idea of a stereotype of anybody.

But comedian Seth Rogan wasn’t letting him off the hook.
.@macklemore really?? Because if I told someone to put together an anti Semitic Jew costume, they’d have that exact shopping list.

What do you think? Is the outfit supposed to be witch, or a Jew?
