Default Re: Cultural Appropriation and You

I kind of feel bad for posting about this, but I have to. An acquaintance of mine who is fun and incredibly stylish and also a bit nuts posted an album of pictures of herself done up in full, to the ground, feathered headdress, Native American dress and, worst of all, darkened face. She was going to some cowboy themed barbecue, but everyone else in the pictures looked alright. Most of them were cowboys and the one other Native American just had a bit of jewelry and a headband with his regular clothes. I'm seriously disgusted, but I like her and her brother is a dear friend so I don't want to say anything.

Still, ugh. :bleh:
