When celebs dress up in native american costumes?

[Marsh.]

I find the third girl offensive because she's such a twat

[Ninastar]

No. So many people get pissy on the internet about this stuff and they need to get a life.

Obviously if they like painted their faces black or something to 'go' with the costume, then that would be a little distasteful, but really, IMO people are getting waaaay to arsey with this stuff.

I feel the same, but so many seemed to be saying it's wrong I was wondering if I was the only one not bothered by it.

Its because of this new trend on the internet (I blame tumblr, mainly). Its where 13 - 15 year olds see what they can find to be 'oppresive' and 'offensive' and its like a ****ing competion or something. It's so pathetic.

Hopefully these people will grow out of it and step out into the real world. Maybe they'll realise that life isn't as 'oppresive' as they want it to be.

I soooooo-oooo agree Caitlin. This B.S. is really becoming more than tedious, I think it's time to call in the men in white coats with a strait jacket for morons who keep screaming 'racist' or 'sexist' or 'ageist' or 'homophobic' or 'xenophobic' and a plethora of other '-ics', at innocuous things.

'Get a fecking life' indeed.

[the truth]

is this a joke

[LukeB]

No

[Firewire]

Yeah, I do actually. But that's only because I've been told it is... I feel like I can't argue otherwise I would be labelled a racist...

I was beginning to feel the same. That it must be racist but I just wasn't seeing it. And as lostalex highlighted, if we start going down that road, pretty soon the clothes people can wear will be very limited.

I want to expand on my point but I cba, essentially I don't understand why it's racist but I've been told it is

Because oppression is real!!! Evil straight White men!!!!!11

(Just so you know, I would never ever think you were racist. We all know you're not so don't worry so much)

[Gstar]

Not racist. I actually find native American clothing/style really nice and wouldn't mind wearing it one day

[Ninastar]

Me too...

Apparently my dads side of the family are all native American so I'd love to find out more about that some day

[Gstar]

jealousss. I wish I had native ancestors

[Gstar]

I'm gonna have a guess at who these celebs are

Christina wishes she was that slim. It's Ellie Goulding.

I don't find it racist in the slightest. You get halloween costumes like that it's just dressing up like their culture. You aren't being derogative.

This world is too serious these days. You can't do anything without it being labelled offensive

[lostalex]

i've seen tons of native americans that wear cowboy hats and blue jeans. so it's no more racist than that.

[Smithy]

I personally don't, but if someone of that culture found it offensive I could understand why, I don't really think it's for individuals to judge what's gonna be offensive to a minority

I can see where you're coming from, but these days people use things as an excuse to be offended by anything... I've already mentioned that I've got native American in my family, yet I'm not offended by this.

I'm Scottish and American, two of the worst portrayed places on the media. Do I get upset when I see people wearing those ginger hats and kilts and taking the piss? No, because I can see why it's humorous. People are too serious these days and it pisses me off so much. If someone dressed up as a fat person and said 'I'm dressed up as an american lmao xo' I would probably roll my eyes but I'd also laugh too. People take things the wrong way imo.

It's not like people intentionally go out and dress up as Indians because they think it will upset people.
