you keep mentioning rape as if all indian girls get raped which is not true just bc it happens to you doesnt mean those costumes do that

1 in 3 Native women will be raped at least once in their lives. <— Is what I said. Exaggerating won’t validate your statement. The only Native women I know, who have not been raped, are children. I don’t know any Native adult women, in person, who have not been raped.

Costumes do not create rapists; however, the media (including costumes) depicts Native women as being primitive sex objects. This targets us. Those costume are not only racist, offensive, and disrespectful but harmful too.
