white men are always like “there’s always some truth to stereotypes though…” UNLESS you call them racist misogynists then they’re completely clueless as to where that stereotype came from

Cultural appropriation often perpetuates inaccurate stereotypes about People of Color - what most white people think they know about Native Americans often comes from inaccurate stereotypes of a monolithic culture involving teepees, sweat lodges, and dream catchers. When these inaccurate stereotypes are perpetuated, they create a mold that white people demand People of Color fit into. When People of Color don’t fit those stereotypes, they are often ridiculed, attacked, dismissed, and marginalized for not fitting into a white person’s inaccurate idea of what it means to be a Person of Color.
The term “tribal” itself reminds me a lot in which they way they use the word “Africa.” People talk about Africa as if it’s a country in itself and have no care for the specific countries within it, and the fact that it’s a diverse continent with lots of extremely different cultures within it. It’s kind of because people don’t take the time to think about it and just use these stereotypes that already exist and perpetuate them.

Native Americans were true lovers of nature. They believed that humankind ought to live in a way to fit in with nature. They especially loved the land, which they called their ‘mother’.

past-tense stereotype.
There’s a stereotype that black people are lazy. I don’t know if that’s true, but I know white people went all the way to Africa to get out of doing work.

Sometimes you read something and your whole perspective of a situation changes. This is one of those things.

I had a flower added to my Native American and got this new little ditty mirroring it. Needless to say I’m happy with them.
Tattoos of skulls wearing warbonnets promotes the genocide of Native Americans. And I do not understand getting racist stereotypes of Native Americans as tattoos. It doesn’t depict a specific person, or represent a specific tribe, all it represents is racist stereotypes.
Congratulations on squishing all the stereotypes of a Native American into one picture! Thank you so much for perpetuating the fetishization and oversexualization of Native women everywhere!
That was sarcasm in case you didn’t notice.

Do your parents know how racist you are? Maybe they raised you to have this mindset, which is really a form of child abuse. I am sorry if you have been taught to think this way. But you can only hide behind that excuse for so long; time to grow up and develop some empathy, and realize that being racist is not okay.
Sorry but I do have to point out that if you deigned to read my initial response to you on my blog you might have discovered that I am not white and hail from an ethnic minority myself, living in a 'White' country, and who has experienced true racism, and that is why I object to those who play the 'racism card' unjustifiably and too frivolously. Oh btw I work for an Anti-Racism Charity too.

I stand by what I said.
You are promoting racism towards Native Americans.
You post offensive pictures that insults the tribes that use warbonnets.
You post images that promotes the dangerous fetishization of Native women.
If you still believe cultural appropriation is not racism; then you do not understand racism.
^THIS IS NOT OKAY. I DON’T CARE WHO YOU ARE OR WHERE YOU WORK. THIS PHOTO IS UNJUSTICIFIABLE AND RACIST.
