Because of this thread, my ads are full of a girl in a Native American (American Indian?) costume. As well as an ad for Sexy Panda, sexy Watermelon, sexy Banana and Sexy Peacock. Thanks....

MY DD is 4. I know that the Disney version of Pocahontas is not the "true" story. But honestly, she just wants to dress up as the girl she sees on tv. Why do we have to make it so hard. Political Correctness seems to be running amuck
If you already determined your position, why did you ask for other opinions?

OMG I know! What is it with the PC Police?! Soon there won't be any more groups of people to mock anymore on Halloween in the name of my personal fun, ruining yet another holiday with their war on Halloween. Ugh! Why can't they just let me have my offensive fun on one night of the year? Everyone else is doing it!!!1

Tell me again why it is offensive to have an American Indian costume?
If you don't understand why any of those other costumes are offensive, you won't understand why the Pocahontas costume is offensive.
"Black people are a costume...thug life mask". I just can't.
Tupac? You can't?

Is "Inuit clothing" more comfortable?

What do *you* call Native American clothing?
Well, you can start by learning about some specific articles and garments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Native_American_clothing
No need for complications.
It was a simple question...

Then she's "Disney's Pocahontas" as she wants to be.

Why can't American Indians (please -- don't use that offensive term "Native Americans" -- I was born here. I am a Native American. That is an offensive and outdated term, sort of like calling a black person a negro) be a costume? What's offensive about this? Why is this offensive when the other examples are not?
Personally I find all of the above equally offensive and inappropriate for dressing up as a "costume."

You are waaaay too uptight and sensitive. If you are offended by these costumes, please be grateful you don't have any real problems in your life.

You should read the thread about the mom dressing her little girl up as a Japanese woman. Many people felt that was an appropriate costume. How would this be different?
and many didn't.
