Are you here for globalism or saving cultures?
Would you wear blue jeans like Americans or would you stay away from it?
Would you start rapping a la "black music" or would you stay away from it?
Would you start cooking Korean cuisine and exploiting it or would you stay away from it?
I think it's only bad when other people mock other cultures or misunderstand them, like that Chinese Food video where the guy is speaking some random language at the beginning and the girls dress as geishas at the end. Slay Alison Gold.

It's just the dumbest concept ever. If I dress as a native it's not because I'm making fun of them. And it's the same for everyone else I think.
Like mentioned by many native Americans the headdress commonly worn by people mimicking them via costumes is a sacred thing only for the highest person in the tribe. To wear a sacred garmet as a costume is wrong and demeans it as a play thing.

Dressing up as a native is offensive because their culture is not a cute lil costume you can wear on Halloween or any day for that matter. Including their history as well, that just makes it worse.

I think it's okay if you're contributing and supporting it. However, if you're mocking it and taking it then there's a problem.
a mess. i feel that some people take it more seriously than it is. please choose your battles. however, those who go around wearing kimonos and native attire after being told what they're doing is wrong truly show lack of sympathy.
