A Cultural Critique For The Tragically Hip About Image And 'Lifestyle'

Cribbed from Maiqilai @Tumblr

Bought an Indian headress, I’m gonna wear it mostly on road trips, when I’m alone, when I’m with people and when I want to dance around in the forest ?? and also when I feel like it?

Congratulations, actual Indians are laughing at you.

But really, can we please stop using war bonnets as some symbol of being ~wild young free spirits~? They’re given to people who are patient, hardworking, and selfless; quite the opposite of drunk white hedonistic hipsters.

But Why Can’t I Wear a Hipster Headdress?

My Identity Is Not A Costume for You To Wear!

On why prancing around in a headdress and war paint isn’t ~appreciating~ “native culture”

Fuck this racist fuckstain.

Seriously, who the FUCK does she think she is?
