Hi, I'm a Native American, and I'm fed up with the appropriation of my culture by those desperate to be trendy, hip, ironic etc. 
My spirit name is “Drinks With Vodka”. I’m gonna fuck shit up tonight.
Oh dear, well…umm…”Drinks with Vodka” I’m kinda hoping someone calls you out tonight about your offensive costume and name. I mean it’s not like real Natives struggle with Alcoholism more than any other race…
And this is why I’m not leaving my house for all of Halloween weekend.
Your mother and I are very disappointed.
As nice as you look in red and brown, it’s pretty offensive. That’s someone’s culture and heritage that you’re wearing.
for a second I thought she had german flags on her face
how the dicks is that offensive
that’s like saying that someone dressing in a top hat, monocle, a set of fake bad teeth, and suit, and them claiming that they’re being an englishman is offensive
which is isn’t
but uh I did think those were german flags on her face initially as well I’m glad I wasn’t the only one
RACISM AND TUMBLR….
NGL, the “dressing in a top hat, monocle, a set of fake bad teeth, and suit, and them claiming that they’re being an englishman” would probably piss me, an English person, off a great deal actually.
Guys I think you’re getting a bit too butthurt over Halloween costumes. There’s been lots of shit like this on my dash for the past few days and everyone has been labeling innocent costumes as “OMFG OFFENSIVE!!!!1”. I can’t really talk about this costume in particular since I’m not Native American (or American at all for that matter) but whenever I see someone dressing up as something that’s relevant to me (A very stereotypical Scotsman, for example) I just see the fun side of it and move on. This is just my opinion guys, so please don’t start shit because of it. You’re free to think what you want.
tl;dr
thanks for whitesplaining why everyone’s being too sensitive about cultural appropriation, geesh.
you’re free to be offended or not offended by portrayals and costuming of your own culture, but I would caution against using this as logic for why “everyone else is just acting butthurt and silly.” Scottish people have not experienced the levels of oppression and erasure in American society that native americans have. The stories of their struggles are completely different and so the magnitude of offensiveness in “dressing up” is also completely different.
If you’re going to have an opinion at least own up to the fact that someone might call you out on it, why throw in lines about “this is just my opinion, if you don’t like it please don’t tell me what’s the issue here”? Free speech comes with the knowledge that you can and will be critiqued for what you say. Even the most offhanded of words and actions have real power- which is why that logic is wrong, and why this costume is wrong.
feminist disney is on point.
