No, everyone knows that American Indians are all obese.

 

[IronWing]

No, but everybody who has so much as looked at it is. Me? I averted my eyes. What's it of?

I understand Native pride, but this whole idea that anyone who dresses to look like a Native is automatically racist is getting out of hand. It may be in very poor taste in some instances, but equating it with the Nazi Holocaust is really hurting the credibility of those who do so.

People should be more sensitive to minorities, but minorities shouldn't go out of their way to find racism were it really doesn't exist.

There's a new basketball team coming to Ottawa. They wanted to call them the Ottawa Tomahawks. People complained it was racist, so they changed it.

FFS, is everyone just sitting around waiting for something to be offended about?

 

[randomrogue]

Racist. The belief that one race is superior to others.

Where the hell does the picture above fit into this?

 

[Lifted]

I wore baggy pants when I was younger.

Yup. Huge racist.

Well, as long as you aren't offended. That's all that matters.

Looks like a bunch of idiots making self important noise to me. Any thing for an ad dollar. Who's exploiting who here?

Most people are, yes.

 

[disappoint]

I secretly harbor racist views,

I secretly harbor racist views,
I don't think I should comment.

Who's equating it with the Holocaust?

Yes.

 

[JackBurton]

She looks like an Emo Native American.

 

[SKORPI0]

She's part Native American....

 

[MonKENy]

i dont see racism, am I missing something? I didnt read the link.

 

[OlafSicky]

Racist 100% because it doesn't give an accurate portrayal of a Native American. On top of it she isn't even wearing a eagle feather but a Chinese Lilliput chicken feather.

 

[Triumph]

So...it's racist to wear an indian necklace if you aren't indian. And don't you fucking dare put a feather in your hair! And pigtails...that's the final straw. White people can only wear suits and dresses.*

*if you're black, asian, or native american and are caught wearing a suit or dress, you're racist

Snoop dog is racist

 

[IronWing]

Damn, I got a buy me some lederhosen.

Snoop dog is racist

He is not his great great paternal grandmother is German. He also speaks German a bit.

Snoop dog is racist

He's called himself Snoop Lion since July 31 2012. :whiste:

Shut up, honkie!

 

[soulcougher73]

What ive learned over my years is those are find things racist are in fact the racist ones

 

[Wheezer]

what makes it racist?

The feather in her hair? (Sold on reservations to tourists or at Indian tourist traps throughout the country.)

The Indian jewelery? (Again, sold on reservations to tourists or at Indian tourist traps throughout the country.)

So the moral of the story? Buy our cheap Indian crap trinkets but don't actually wear it or you are a racist.

fuckheads.
