Red Indian is a racial slur

 posting photos of people wearing costume warbonnets is offensive and racist. The warbonnet is a sacred item that must be earned; when worn by someone who hasn’t earned it is to mock and disrespect the cultures that traditionally use them. Sacred items, such as the warbonnet, are not props or fashion accessories.

Stop posting crap on my photos.. Your creating hate on a 15 year old and your much older than me.. Get out of the sand pit and grow up.

Did you just say that I am way older than you but that I need to grow up? Nice invalid argument. How about you research Cultural Appropriation.
