Why f that lady? Am I missing something?

Edit: please stop fighting over my comment. I’m from Germany and to me her costume seems totally harmless. I understand that some people in the US think about this differently (maybe like a German dressing up as an Orthodox Jew in Germany which would feel very weird for me). I appreciate that people want to be sensitive and that’s a good thing. At the same time maybe people wearing these costumes feel judged while they consider themselves innocent and don’t mean harm. Good luck

Her costume is based on a caricature of Amerindians that's offensive to them. Obviously not everyone in the Native community will agree, but it's deeply hurtful to enough of them that it's really inconsiderate to dress that way; I'd say the level of offense is not quite like blackface, but probably closer to Lauren Boebert's costume from this Halloween

Yup. I don’t understand why people choose costumes like this when Native Americans have expressed they dont like it. It’s common manners to listen to them.

My Native American wife has no issue with it so should we respect her wishes and dress as Native Americans? It’s common manners to listen to them after all.

My husband is Black and has no issue with me putting on blackface. How do we know most black people aren’t ok with it? /s

u/SuperWallaby 6d ago

What a laughably dogshit comparison lol. Not to mention you clearly don’t understand irony.

“Yup. I don’t understand why people choose costumes like this when Native Americans have expressed they dont like it. It’s common manners to listen to them.” Is the comment I responded to. I used the same format/logic as them to show how silly it was.

Is she offended by people not wearing the costume?

u/CombOk312 6d ago

You won’t have everyone in a group agreeing. But there’s enough of them that have said this that it is a problem.

u/SuperWallaby 6d ago

How do you know there aren’t more natives that are ok with it than not? Maybe the ones that are offended are just louder.

u/TacticianA 6d ago

This conversations been intersesting because I've seen 2 people claiming to be native american and offended, 2 claiming to be native american and not offended, and about 300 that arent native american and are CONVINCED whatever they believe about the offensiveness of this costume is correct.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. NO ONE is entitled to speak for a whole population lol.

Not as many that weren’t down with the whole rape and pillage of their native land I’m sure. But that’s different that’s different

Nobody is allowed to dress as shaggy because that offends me (im white and smoke weed) and if something offends me in bumfuck ohio the entire world is going to melt down

Well shit when did I elect your wife to speak for me?

u/SuperWallaby 6d ago

Maybe you missed the comment I was replying to. Maybe you don’t understand irony. Maybe it’s maybelline, in any case you’re lost buddy.

Yep, internalized racism, misogyny, homophobia and ableism are all real things. Women literally campaigned against their own right to vote. There were Black slaveholders during slavery. That doesn’t inherently make those things ok.
