The rabbi outfit might have received a similar punishment as the Jesus one did because there is a silly intolerance in our world when it comes to religion. People who believe it is somehow real, will always take it to seriously, kind of like the endless wars in the middle east. Back home on our great land, the same intolerance exists, it just has yet to escalate to thousand year wars.
Also the KKK outfit would have been sent home because it wold have been deemed racially insensitive and offensive to a big percentage of the population. while it would not have been illegal in any way as is the same for the Jesus costume.
