What if....We wear those costumes but just for fun? Not to promote racism? We really don't want to hurt you! But why would you attack young people who were not aware of all of this? I really admire you.

“posting photos of non-natives wearing costume warbonnets promotes racism "  <—is not an attack.In my opinion, attacking someone verbally consists of bullying, insulting, using slurs etc. I am not attacking anyone; I am relaying valuable information.

Anon: I would hope that you could read my link called “Cultural Appropriation”, it is a button under my “Links". I also have a “References" page that links several articles written about cultural appropriation.

Intent is irrelevant, because whether or not someone wears a “Native American" costume or faux Warbonnet to be cute or cruel they are perpetuating the same outcome: racism.
