Your opinions are urs and ur free to them as am I, I do agree with that 100%. U keep using "war bonnet" when its just a basic run of the mill generic head dress anyone can buy at any place that sells "Native american" items that is probably made in china, sorry a cheap prop holds no symbolic meaning to me, a actual one would be another story totally. Also I do not support any racism, but if she were drunk or using a stereotype then id agree with u 100% Racism is a harsh word to use lightly.

Costume warbonnets are racist. The companies that make these cheap fake warbonnets are profiting off of stealing from plains Native tribes; and reducing all Native Americans into a stereotype. These companies are benefiting from the oppression of Native Americans. And you (oh excuse me your “friend") are giving them money.
You are helping to fund racism against Native Americans. If you haven’t earned each and every eagle feather and been given permission from a tribe that traditionally use the warbonnet then you have no right to wear a warbonnet.
