Keep doing what you're doing, girl and keep inspiring us to create.

Cultural appropriation is merely the adaption of one culture by another. While it can be, in some instances, negative in satire, this isn't a case of cultural appropriation. This is an original pattern by the creator under the influence of Southwestern design. Not once in her post does she describe it to be Native American, Indian, red skin, or brave. To take something as minute as this symbol and lump it into such vast and diverse cultures is, as you say, "woefully ignorant." If I applied the same overly sensitive politically correct logic you hold so dear to say, a shirt with horizontal stripes, we could all get offended at how it mocks the overpopulation of prisons in America. Your sensitivty seems to be directed at the word "tribal." The term itself simply means to to be similar to being of a tribe. While "tribe" has been used to describe Native American groups, it is not exclusive. It can be applied to any community i.e. a high fashion community. i.e. a community of people speaking out of turn for something they know nothing about, etc. If you maintain such a hyper-sensitized view towards every single thing, you will only become a bitter person. Think before you hop on your computer and type a short ill conceived diatribe. I imagine this post will offend you and you will do some research, find an anecdote, and form what you think is a well written rebuttal. That's fine. Do what you need to do.The Guy its Hard to Stay Mad Athttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14188924566192725381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140360842272586561.post-78507798107107812362012-03-29T17:43:45.541-07:002012-03-29T17:43:45.541-07:00So cute!

Just a heads up though, next time think before you voice your white naivete. Because you look more ignorant than the girl who comes up with a simple shirt design and refers to it as "tribal." So why don't you stop "enlightening" people, get off your pedestal and join the rest of the world who doesn't see race like you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07025665821396222352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140360842272586561.post-77980063351071890042012-03-29T15:48:04.452-07:002012-03-29T15:48:04.452-07:00Aww, I want one!

I certainly never intended for, or even imagined such a reaction. I'm actually part Native American myself, which is where I get my naturally dark skin and dark, thick eyebrows. I would never mean to disrespect their culture or any other.<br /><br /> It's simply a little craft project that I thought people would enjoy. Yes, inspiration has been drawn from a tribal culture but I don't believe that I've misrepresented anyone's culture or history. Again, sorry for any misunderstanding. <br /><br />Note* This post has not been edited since original publishing.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008286103399819687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140360842272586561.post-73234462508022403442012-03-29T11:01:53.952-07:002012-03-29T11:01:53.952-07:00Thank you j.thrift for saying that!
