There is a difference between eating and enjoying a culture's food and wearing culture as a costume. If you don't get it, I can't really help you.

Heh. Thanks!

If I could star this more than once, I would.

I think we white people get up in arms to show that we're sensitive enough to get up in arms, but if THIS is what you spend your days worrying about?

Funny, I don't feel coddled.

If you were a native american, you would have said so.

Denim jeans don't function as cultural iconography/have any import beyond the purely material, unlike the headdress, which is imparted with various symbolic meaning depending on the specific matrix of tribal beliefs.
