how the fuck do you people notice this shit omg
This fandom needs to collectively work for the CIA or something honestly how do you even
Even though I don’t have kids myself, I am such a fan of encouraging interactive play. This T-shirt teepee and DIY Indian Girl Dress tutorial from Natalme is too cute for words.
NO, DO NOT DO THIS.
WHITE PEOPLE, STOP.
This is how racism starts.
This is how stereotypes are formed in the minds of children.
This is the start of the path that ends with hipsters in war bonnets frolicking in fields half-naked, carrying bottles of booze and getting self-righteously angry (And refusing to learn. And continuing to be angry) when they’re confronted.
When you dress your children up as busted stereotype caricatures and call it ‘imaginative play’.
When you only speak about Native American people in the past tense, in certain contexts. When you only mention them as pertains to White history. When you depict them in stereotypical ways. This is how it starts.
Depictions like this are hurtful. Dressing up in redface is hurtful. Wearing ‘war paint’ is hurtful. Dressing up as another race by wearing terribly stereotypical caricatures of what you think that race looks like is not appropriate. Teaching your child that this is what they should think of when they hear ‘Native American’ HURTS REAL NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE. It creates, in the mind of your child, a stereotype, a caricature, of what Native people do/should look like that erases us in reality and removes us from their perception of the modern world. It turns ‘Native American’ into someone wearing beads and headbands and feathers and face paint. It turns an ethnic, racial identity into a costume.
Can someone tell me why non-native people think that it is remotely appropriate to dress their children up like this?
^^^
Tell me why you put white people…
because we’re the assholes who do it? we’re the same culture that decimated their population, and therefore it’s extra awful when we steal and mock their culture for our own amusement?
There is nothing wrong with dressing up like that. The problem is how parents teach their kids. There is always going to be racist ppl in this world. It’s how a person is brought. But there’s nothing wrong with a child dressing up like that.
No.
You are wrong.
That child is dressed up as a racist caricature and is thus being taught to embody and forward stereotypes that hurt NDN people.
Unless you’re operating on a premise that’s there’s nothing wrong with raising your children to think it’s fine to hurt others (maybe you are, maybe you’re fucking horrible, I don’t know) then THAT IS WRONG.
Let me break it down:
If hurting people = wrong, then racism = wrong because RACISM HURTS PEOPLE.
Not fucking hard.
ugh. not fucking cute.
kids are cute whatever they wear
stop bitchin over causes and sayin it’s not cute cuz u all for sure went “awww” when first glancing
it’s just a damn kid, quit the whole racism shit omg
How about we’ll “quit the whole racism shit” when folks stop being fucking racist. Nobody is blaming this child for wearing that. We are saying parents/the adults responsible should not do this shit b/c it stereotypes and caricatures a whole culture, which is harmful. It’s really not a hard concept unless your just an obtuse, bigot intent on maintaining the status quo that constantly oppresses NDN people.
STOP THE PRESSES, A CHILD IS ROLEPLAYING!
Never in my life have I witnessed more cases of Butthurt for the most ridiculous reason. This post is officially my favorite I will quote every line forever.
Obviously it is all fun and games when people who won’t stand to see racism being perpetuated through child’s play decide to speak up about it.
Because a child being taught racism is OK is a “ridiculous” reason to get mad.
Because a child roleplaying a racist stereotype is NBD amirite.
horribleness
my dad sent these to me and said, “Look at our chalkboard in the break room!”

eXCUSE YOU THAT IS A CHALKBOARD ARE YOU JOKING

For my 20 minute subway ride this morning, I had very VERY dirty thoughts. This guy must be so sexually frustrated, and I would gladly open up for him! Argh, he was even more beautiful when he opened his eyes @.@ I didn’t grab no lube or nothin jesis!Hold. The fuck up. Why do you think its okay to take a picture of someone you don’t know without their permission as well as post in on the internet without your permission? And then to add your creepy sex rant as a caption. This is just so gross. -Wai
Another look at how gross and entitled people are
This is like the artist’s version of when people tell girls “if you don’t want to get raped don’t walk down the street in a short skirt” basically
‘languages are pointless’
‘languages are so easy to learn, anyone can do that!’
‘english is going to become the dominant language anyway’
‘what’s the point? i’m never going to use this language’
‘everyone should learn english instead!’
