Damn. You're going to tear something in your shoulder with this kind of reaching.

Stop. It's obviously not the fucking same.
What's next, we'll let people marry anything, even goats or hamburgers? See how that argument doesn't work? The problem is that you are completely ignoring social and historical contexts, not to mention creating a false equivalence by posting the image above. "Baby hair" is associated with members of specific groups.…
To think, this comment thread started with sexy dancing Barney and then got better.
Someones cleaning up the thread? There's other comments that are just wholly missing now...
Crazy eh? Fuck man... just like us too, get hung on the parametres of who is or isn't racist and ignore the fucking racist things that are being done... ugh.
Torontonian here, and shocking, we also have First Nations people here, crazy talk!
There's a reason we have a PC govt right now and it not because people "care" about racism in Canada...
are you kidding me? In 2008 stats Canada census showed over 1.8 million aboriginal people living off reserve in Canada. Over 40,000 living in the greater Vancouver area alone.
Are you sure that "most" are? Cuz some of the boards I lurk on would not support that idea...
"The dark color palette of machete wounds is juxtaposed with the warm tones of Dutch eugenics"
On such a massive scale. I mean we have a Prime Minister that delivers an apology for the atrocities of the "past" in regards to residential schools (even though we are only a single generation removed from their existence) and can turn around and claim to the world that Canada's never committed any human rights…
There are over 2,000 murdered and missing Aboriginal women/girls and no-one really cares due to racism.
They lost all rights to claim 'for the sake of the art' with the title of "Dsquaw." Nothing can make any of it even remotely acceptable. All intentions are for shite with that nonsense.
Now is as good a time as any to remind the world that this place exists, where you can buy pieces from actual Native American/First Nation artisans, and all of the stuff there is better than this rug-from-a-head-shop-as-high-fashion-poncho-bullshit.
The charm of 1930s Germany mixed with the proud heritage of Jewish Europeans! Charm of the early 1900s Turks and the proud heritage of Armenians! Charm of the antebellum south and the proud heritage of African Americans!
I'd call this hipster racism but it's not- these dipshits are trying to financially capitalize on this outrage. It's all cynically calculated and that makes it worse. I am shaking with anger right now. THIS IS NOT A GAME YOU SMARMY, VICIOUS FUCKING FOOLS.
Yeah, no. Fuck this. It's one thing to say, "we are aware of the criticisms/issues surrounding this, and we are choosing to make a statement despite it." Racist? Yes. But to act like "dummmm-di-dummm wha?? I haznever heard of this issue" is just a fucking mockery.
Can't wait for their follow-up, equally tone-deaf collection that juxtaposes the Old World Charm of Leopold II of Belgium with the proud heritage of the Bakongo people.
Racist, sexist, economically exploitative, racist, historically ignorant RACIST pieces of shit. Given the context of First Nations Canadians' multiple simultaneous crises and white Canadians largely unaddressed legacy of exploitation and abuse toward them, this is incredibly cruel and disrespectful. Dsquared is…
