He never actually promised that — it was a hoax.

Ugh.

Exactly. I'm loving how trill this is, and the UGK shout out!

See, here's the thing: it doesn't go without saying. From the trial:

Okay I keep re-writing this but.

I can't even think of an interview where Quevenzhane' sounds like anything other than an excited 9 year old girl.

Maybe Olivia Wilde has face blindness.

How are they even supposed to get there?

Skintern wear.

Bolo tie.

I mean, I saw a lot of folks complaining, but I also seek that kind of criticism out?

He doesn't even know what tribe his great-grandmother belonged to? I know self-identity, especially with Native Americans, is a complicated issue, but I think it'd be a stretch to call Johnny Depp a Native American actor.

Ugh I've been trying hard to find an awesome cane but having no luck. Tips? Mine is boring, though it does fold up to fit in my purse.

Because of a long and complicated history of black/red/yellowface and how we have yet to, as a culture (America) move past it. Maybe someday the culture will be not-racist enough that it will be far enough removed and people will see it as good costume craft.

Couldn't it be both?

If someone steps on my foot, it still hurts even if they didn't mean to step on my foot. Intent doesn't matter when you're looking at behavior that /causes harm/. Feeling offended in response to racism is a natural response because a microaggression like, say, girls in hipster headresses, is only part of a whole…

1) If you met a person from that culture, would you feel weird about your costume? Would they?

If it helps, they're all public domain (and available for download at Project Gutenberg), so you're not really giving money to the estate of a racist or anything. :/

Okay but what about things like Johnny Depp basically preventing any Native American actor from playing a prime Native American role in the Lone Ranger? Even Tonto in the original broadcasts was played by a Native American? Is that important enough to get angry about?

It's because offensive blackface/redface/yellowface is not just a historical spectre of the past — people are still doing that shit today. It's still in the culture, the now culture.
