[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] So is this offensive? It's cultural appropriation. It's a "sexy" take on the traditional dress of the native people of another country. A culture that still exists, and a people that still wear it. [/quote] It's certainly tacky and I'd side-eye if she let her 7 year old wear it, but in this case it doesn't have the "punching down" element of dressing up as a generic Indian girl. [/quote] LOL at the 7 year old comment. I'd defer to what a member of that group says, but I don't think Germans are historically marginalized in this country, at least not to the extent that Native Americans have been! [/quote] Why would you defer that question and not the one about the American Indian?[/quote]
