So basically what your saying is a white person wearing a headdress is racist? Does that also mean that white people can't watch BET? And that black people can't wear a white person shirt? Because if the black guy wore the white guys shirt, that would be racist right? Because at one time a white guy wore it? Fuck yourself you ignorant cunt.
First of all the Warbonnet is sacred. A “white persons’ shirt" (what would that be?) is not sacred. Secondly, cultural appropriation is an act of racism. Wearing racist stereotyped costumes in order to dress up as a race is racist. Is there a stereotype that bunches all white people together? Cultural Appropriation is taking something from a culture that is not your own without permission while being ignorant to the meaning behind it.
Racist stereotypes are racist.
Wearing a costume to depict an entire race is racist.
Wearing a costume warbonnet is offensive and racist.
