Hello there,
I'm just looking through my posts, I do enjoy the commentary and banter that goes on and it's all part of the community. However, I do wish you're not tearing your hair out at a simple fickle post of which I just wanted to express my feelings towards a story I passed me one morning. I do not run a political or culture analyzing blog, I run a fickle and simple fashion blog so please if you're looking for something more I beg you to find it somewhere else rather than judging me with your belittling comments. Thanks a bunch.

I guess I must have struck a nerve! For the record, I’m not “tearing my hair out” over anything. It’s actually very common for people to appropriate our culture; it’s been happening for several hundred years in one way or another, it’s just that since there’s been a “global economy” it’s been widespread knowledge. The problem is that dressing up as Native Americans is wrong. I try not to comment on blogs I see that do this, but I can’t hold back all the time. Now, if you can’t see WHY it’s wrong? Well then, you need to research a few terms: white privilege, racism, cultural appropriation: just to start. I don’t think my comments were belittling so much as they were just angry, and I think I have a right to be angry. Native Americans do not live like those Europeans are pretending to, they didn’t historically and they don’t now. To say they are being “Native” is degrading to us and offensive. YOU are belittling Native Americans. Don’t you see that?
