[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who is Native American on one side of my family...I do not find this I inappropriate at all.   What I DO find offensive is when people who have no ties to the culture, nationality , etc., get offended on their behalf.   You are white.  Please don't tell me or assume I should be offended over something.  It makes you look like an idiot. [/quote]

But, but, but . . . how will I demonstrate that I am fully "woke?"  [/quote]

On some level, I appreciate that people are being a little more sensitive. There are definitely some things that are offensive and it's good to see that people are paying attention to that.  But some people just go so overboard they are the ones who become offensive.

A little girl in DDs class dressed as Pocahontas for Halloween last year.  On our town message board, there were posters tearing apart the mom for letting her daughter dress like that.  It's a frigging Disney movie.  The only people in our town who would have any right to be offended by a 5 year old wearing a Disney costume is my family.  And guess what?   We were not offended!   Yeah, the movie itself isn't the greatest but my kid has watched it.

This fleece is not offensive.  Some things that I do find offensive

The Redskins 
The tomahawk chuck
Assuming all NA cultures and tribes are the same
Assuming any NA design/inspiration in the Western world is offensive to us. [/quote]
