Sounds like the author is offended. That’s ok. They have the right to be offended. They dont have the right to alter what other say or do.

[null and void]

Chance!

TTIUWOP.

Crap! Now I’m offended for being classified as a horn dog looking to subjugate women of other races. WHAT? I guess that’s just what white guys do.

This post is useless without pics

Don't get her started about the Genie costume and the islmaists...

[2banana]

Yeah - like no OTHER culture or race has ever done this...

in that white men have fetishized and eroticized women of other races and ethnicities throughout history,

This author needs a discussion on how indians kept slaves (before ever seeing a white man), practiced genocide (before ever seeing a white man), environmental destruction (before ever seeing a white man) AND...

that the vast majority of indian tribes fought on the side of the British during the American Revolution.

Ruth sounds like she’d be a barrel of laughs on a date.

Let me summarize this article in one word, for those who couldn't stomach the whole thing:

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!

It's clear I'm guilty of three counts: white, male, enthusiastic heterosexual.

Who cares what you think.

Your side lost and yet we still celebrate your culture in movies, song(Cherokee Nation), parties, sport and war.

Tomahawk missile? Badass but, your feeling have been injun’d.

Apache Helicopter? Kickass but, you claim injunree to yer pride.

Comanchee Helicopter? See above.

Kiowa? Ditto

If you and your people want to go tbe way of the Roman Gods then we can agree to never celebrate your existence or even speak of it.

Pretty soon you are not just irrelevant but, no longer a part of our culture and thus, you become invisible and irrelevant.

The last time we visited Cherokee North Carolina there were multiple men dressed in “full regalia” as chiefs available to have their photo taken with the kids, for tips, as the “chief” reminded us. Their “war bonnets” were the same cheap stuff available in the local stores.
I can understand how such cheap knockoffs could be offensive, but then why were they selling it?!

[GeronL]

Okay this author went off the rails around the second paragraph into lala land.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Yah, yah, yah. But Ruth...those short tight buckskin skirts reeeally accentuate a young squaws natural assets.

Those are authentic regalia aren't they?

[Political Junkie Too]

The old joke is that the difference between a slut and a bitch is that the slut will sleep with anyone, and the bitch will sleep with anyone but you.

What a whiner.

[ExTxMarine]

Statistically, a shocking one in three Native American women will be sexually assaulted in her lifetime.

Funny that Ms. Easily Offended doesn't mention that most, nearly ALL, of these rapes will be committed by a Native American man of their own tribe! Stupid bitch should just keep her mouth shut and be offended!

[boop]

"The traditional clothing we wear is called regalia, and looks nothing like the faux 1950’s Hollywood shit that pop culture pawns off on consumers as “Indian.” All Native American people are not the same."

OK, so this genius just undermined her whole argument.

If it's "faux Hollywood shit", that doesn't represent real Indians, then how can someone be "offended"?

It's "faux shit", man...
