Red Indian is a racist slur and this photograph is wildly inappropriate.

Its a little over sensitive to say im being racist… I only used the tag red indian so it would be easy to find. If every group got so worked up over costumes being made in reference to them then surely it would be chaos… cowboys, medicine men, tribesman etc, people even go to costume parties as English gentleman…. my friend simply bought this to go to a cowboy/indian party… nobody is making racist slurs against ANYBODYs people……………

posting photos of non-natives wearing costume warbonnets promotes racism

red indian is a racial slur

you are promoting racism and by defending your racist photo shows you are racist. these images are not okay. you use a racial slur as you dress up in a cheap costume that mocks and belittles our existence.

if you are not racist (even though it’s clear that you are) then attempt to learn about cultural appropriation and listen to Native peoples when we say this isn’t ok

Native peoples? As you sit on Tumblr posting slanderous ‘reblogs’. Lol let me know when you really get in touch with ‘your people’ when you stop alienating yourself with this over the top idiocy, go do some peyote and get over it.
