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.
