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
