Disney’s version of Pocahontas is completely inaccurate. Matoaka (Pocahontas) was a real person. She became an advocator for peace and the safety of her tribe. She even went to England to plead for the safety of her tribe. She is a hero. Pocahontas was not just a women who fell in love with a white man; she was 11 years old when John Smith started raping her. So when you wear that costume you would be promoting the stereotype of Pocahontas and not the accurate story. Many people will be offended by Pocahontas costumes the same way some people would be offended by people wearing a Mahatma Gandhi costume, a Martin Luther King Jr. costume, a Nelson Mandela costume etc etc.

Do I think it is racist to wear a stereotyped Native American costume and call it Pocahontas? Yes, I fined that racist.
