Why care about what us white people wear for halloween so much? Why can't you simply ignore it? If anyone wants to be an indian let us. Stop criticizing...

Even if I ignore it I will be affected by the outcome of these racist actions. Native people will be affected by these racist costumes. Dressing up as an “Indian / Native American”  reduces hundreds of Native cultures into one racist stereotype; this is dehumanizing. When a group (or race) is viewed as subhuman violence and oppression towards that group is inevitable (and in this case continuous).

Your actions, and the actions of others impersonating an entire race, affect an entire race of people. You are attempting to silence Native peoples and downplay this serious issue, but you are in the wrong.

damn, this anon didn’t even TRY to hide the fact that they’re White. Usually White people on anon start their message with some lying shit like “As a person of color, [blah blah blah]” to make their opinion seem valid.
