Have you seen this..a little girl saying she is an American indian is offended by people dressing up as an actual native American?
I'm offended that native americans dress up as "westerners". Cultural appropriation, thats what it is. They're not europeans, so they shouldnt be allowed to wear our culture's clothing.
(works both ways, doesnt it? Or is racism just a one way street?)
That has to be a joke...cultural appropriation of forced assimilation? I don't remember there being 'reservations' for any colonising culture (and that word should be used with utmost care)...and to be specific,it would be a form of culturism (if that exists)...colonising and forced assimilation is a one-way street...

Forced assimilation didn't happen to anyone but Indians?!? Perhaps you need to check the history books again.

I'm not sure who the Native Americans had to beat out to live in America before it was, but the Europeans came for one thing and that was to take land for themselves. The trail of tears and other massacres the Native Americans suffered far outweigh their attacks against the invaders. The Europeans raising the Native American children so their heritage was lost. There was more to the war on Native Americans than some bullet holes and land loss and it has lasted years. As far as the fighting goes, there is enough blame to go around but the Native Americans didn't go out to rob another country of their land.
As to the topic, it's a shame the child is offended.
