How does the public decide its okay to wear headdresses and "war paint" to parties?

Asked by meagan (4670points) May 29th, 2010

I’m honestly afraid to even ask. Its been brought to my attention that its “fashionable” these days to wear headdresses, feathers, face paint, etc… to pretend to be Native for “fun”. Even models like Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen are doing this.

How is this not comparable to black face?

Visit – http://mycultureisnotatrend.tumblr.com/ – This website features all of the photos I’m talking about.

I’m honestly shocked.

How do people think that this is okay to do?
