Oh well. Stay home and bolt your door if you’re so offended and get off my post that was meant as funny and sarcastic, something you don’t understand because of your easily offended nature. Native American costumes don’t bother me and I’m actually Native American. I don’t know anyone else who is offended by them so I’m gonna go out and have fun in whatever costume I want, and you can stay home bored as a police officer. :3
Stay ignorant!I never said I was Native you dunce. I’m Mexican.
It’s not funny and sarcastic to gloss over the dehumanization of other people. It’s disgusting and racist.
The only ignorant person here is you. And let me guess you’re a 1/32 descendant of a Cherokee princess right?
¼ chieftain but close and I will admit that the Mexican ones even big ME as I’ve mentioned before in a post and I’m not saying that there ARENT racist costumes out there. I live in a college town so I see a lot of it. But then I also see the people who are just dressed up to have fun and they are still being shamed and assaulted in the name of appropriation. I’ve never gone as anything other than comic book or cartoon characters ( except the time I was a dead bride ) so I’m definitely not racist. Nor am I ignorant to the fact that horrible costumes are out there. But someone wearing a headdress shouldn’t really offend anyone.
If you’re making light of the dehumanization of other people, I don’t give a fuck whether you think you’re a racist or not. You’re contributing to dehumanization and racism with your OP. FULL STOP.
“But someone wearing a headdress shouldn’t really offend anyone.”
Why? Because you say so? That’s not a good enough reason.
OP are their items in your culture that you believe to be sacred? If someone copied it from you and used it to dress up like you how would you feel?
