Ugh, ugh ugh. 

But whhhhyyyyyyy.

Insane comment as to this being racist. As a sociology and culture student the fact that someone considers this racist blows my mind. It’s like me calling someone of native american heritage racist if they ever decided to wear a top hat because it was the clothing of my forefathers. It is a head dress which has become part of popular culture, something which is uncontrolable. Cultures have converged. This isn’t a statement as to the modern person of native american heritage looking remotely like this anyway. They’re just normal people. Like me. Or the girl in this photo. She’s simply wearing an item which has some historical symbology but once again- top hats. Or in fact the English Language we so happily write in. Culture fusion, it’s not a bad thing.

Even worse someone has the audacity to reblog it complaining about racism, alongside a gif singling out white people. You know something simple, want to stop racism? Stop identifying race in such a blunt way. We can’t be equal until we choose to be. Now I know there’s history but it’s a two way street. I may as well be blue for all I care. My race- human.

A top hat is not commonly known as a sacred item. Top Hats are hats. Headdresses/Warbonnets are sacred items with long histories behind them. 

Culture Fusion would be wearing moccasins with jeans, two everyday wearable items mixing together! Not a sacred item that is still important in the many tribes that wore headdresses. 

Jeepers, I’m scared that you’re a sociology/culture student and you’ve never heard of Cultural Appropriation. 

I DON’T SEE IN COLOR U GUYS

I DON’T KNOW WHY EVERYONE’S MAD ‘CAUSE SHE’S NOT NATIVE AMERICAN. SHE’S JUST NORMAL, LIKE ME!

Racist sociology student is racist.

THIS SIMPLE BITCH IS NOT A SOCIOLOGIST!!!!!!!! FUCK THIS PERSON!!!!!! I say that as a sociologist with the cultural awareness to know that this shit is fucking wrong on several levels. It displays a fetishim for the “exotic” that is so fucking prevalent in the western, privileged social sciences and humanities at all higher education institutes. It also BLATANTLY DENIES ANY REAL HISTORY THAT PRETTY MUCH FUCKING EXPLAINS WHY THIS IS REALLY PROBLEMATIC. I mean, homie, really? Cultural Appropriation is a topic that is discussed in most 101 classes. How the fuck did you miss that lesson? Oh, you must be white. I can’t………..

Did this mothafucka really just argue that this is Cultural Fusion? Just shut the fuck up.

They must be giving out degrees with six proofs of purchase from boxes of Cheerios or something.

look they took intro to sociology and intermediate sociology ok

they are more than qualified to judge the racism in this image

^^oh my god, I loled. and kind of want to cry.

I  had a discussion with a co-worker a few weeks ago about cultural appropriation. She said “all this bullshit” was pointless, and these cultures should be happy that anyone’s appreciating them at all. And, that she’s right because she’s studied anthropology for 5 years and like, knows culture and stuff. Ugh.
