Frankly, I don’t think it’s your place to have an opinion on whether appropriating Native dress is racist. Native people have said it is, and that means that it is. Certainly a White girl wearing feathers and “injun” makeup while posing w/ booze is.It’s right to have an opinion on anything I want. Move around shorty.
Lord above, why do I still let the PORK Magazine rancidity and its apologists even register on my emotions?
Just for the record, defending this as not being racist or hurtful is the hill these jerks are willing to die on:
On the real, fuck you very much (anyone) for defending this shit. I suspect that the devil’s advocacy over Pork is not so much about not supporting social justice (which, whatever, you’re so fucking edgy supporting the kyriarchy over the oppressed, I’m very impressed) and more about not wanting to alienate the popular kids. Apparently people are under the impression that ~cool hairbows and buttons~ and ~edgy zines~ and hipster cred have only one source in the entire universe so they’re sticking by Pork.
Whatever. People are assholes and/or intentionally obtuse, water is wet, the sun will come up tomorrow. I’m really going to try and not let this get to me so much in the future, just for my own sake. But all of you Pork defenders and supporters can go right to hell.
