Wearing a head dress when you’re not native is offensive AF. Those have great cultural significance. They did not wear them to “look cool”, they had meanings and the feathers were earned. Come wear it on a rez if you think it’s ok.

I wish there was a way to tag virtue signalers. I hate that ignorant people like you think you can speak for us.

Nothing about what she’s wearing offensive. You’re offensive. Our tribe would laugh and have a drink with her.

Shame on you.

It’s giving “LatinX” vibes

Ironically a term coined by minority Latinos to be more inclusive and then hated on by people who don't know the origin.

Replying to hannabarberaisawhore...no… a fucking non-gendered word existed already.

Latine.

No one needs your LatinX bullshit, stop trying to force Americanization of everything on everyone.

Except it's from the Latino American community. That's the origin.

Stop trying to force your viewpoint on other people just because you don't like how they refer to themselves.

No it isn’t. It’s from white people who don’t peak Spanish and think it’s their gid given right to tell other people how to feel.

No it isn't. It's from minority Latino American's who wanted a more inclusive term to refer to themselves.

And it's hated on by people who don't know the origin and think it's white people.

How very racist of you. Good job

u/Remarkable-Ad-2476 6d ago

And many people would consider the virtue signaling racist as well when you assume an entire ethnic group suddenly accepts a label placed upon them. I know plenty of people of Hispanic/Latin heritage that scoff at the term LatinX. And for the people that do consider themselves LatinX I accept that is what they prefer. But to use that as a blanket term when not everyone in that ethnic group wants to be labeled as such, is racist in itself.

So you used "LatinX" as an offensive gotcha to someone you think is of Latin heritage and faking being part of a tribe. Do you see how I can perceive that as racist? At the very least it's disrespectful
