I’ve got over a thousand recent pictures of people of all ethnicities engaged in cultural appropriation and racist stereotyping of indigenous people, not to mention the various singers and bands (again, of various ethnicities) celebrating the same in videos and on stage.

So yes, to those who like to say that this isn’t really a big deal, that people get it’s not okay, and that we should never, ever compare it to other forms of racist costuming because when this happens to us it’s not comparable at all (as though those kinds of racial costuming don’t happen anymore and are not in fact defended by those who do it)…please look around you and see just how widespread these racist stereotypes are.  You can literally find them plastered EVERYWHERE.

The ‘outcry’ is minimal and mostly coming from indigenous peoples. 

It would be really, really great if that could change.  Only a loud outcry can turn back this tsunami of fucked up marketing.
