[Oh Fuck No]: NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN BIRTHDAY PARTY

thesising:

NO. 

NO.

NO.

This is so fucking incredibly awful that I just can’t.

Bougie white ladies teaching their young children racism! How adorable. Did you see the “Asian-themed” party?

Seriously though, check out how fucking bad this is:

and that’s not all!  I won’t post any more pictures of it but…

• shitty chicken feather headdresses and headbands
• shapeless “buckskin” dresses with tassles
• a terrible approximation of a tipi 
• that “woo woo” shit white people love doing so much because they can’t ululate properly.
• the ‘hau’ hand signal
• a whole bunch of racist americana, and a lot of references to an “indian look” “indian symbols” and a whole shitload of “indian names”

So when I talk about redface being a racist projection of the colonial gaze, this is the product.

Like, the overall effect is a celebration of vintage-style racism.  This is identical to the nonsense our grandmothers and grandmothers dealt with.  Look how far we’ve come.

We talk about how dealing with liberal not-racist racism is worse than dealing directly with some shaved-head peckerwood, and it’s true, because these people think there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of this.  These people are happily teaching their children that this is totally cool, that it’s just a fun thing for their kids to do.

Well, our kids get to go to school where white kids will pull that “hau” shit.  Where white kids will go “woo woo” while they pat their mouths.  They’ll get asked if they live in tipis or wigwams and they’ll get picked on and hurt and abused.  Our kids get to be called chugs and wagon burners and redskins by the children of these people, because those children learned that shit at home.

This shit is just so incredibly awful, I wouldn’t know where to begin.  I think the comments here are spot on.  This woman is so beyond clueless, you really just have to ignore her completely.

Lord, the teepee cake with the plastic totem pole?   *gag*
