Absolutely Unbelievable. How does someone look at that float and think these girls are trying to boil down what it's like to be an Native American. It was a fricking Disney themed parade. I hate what is happening in our country.

Oh, and one other thing, who the hell portrays a parade like that? Single axle landscape trailers and pickups!?!??

Triggered again!

Not even Disney is safe from the PC police. RIP America. I don't want to live here with these idiots anymore.

ETA- I'm actually mad and I probably shouldn't be over something this stupid but give these PC arseholes an inch and they want a mile.

I heard Indians love Under Armour and can't stand Nike...

They're still pissed about Lebron James getting 90Mill to endorse Nike right out of high school...

Looks like they dressed up like characters from a Disney film, which was the point of the parade seemingly.

Faux outrage all around.

I think these, like some say on here, "fricktards" need something to complain about... It's the look at me I'm a victim attention whores..

WHAT A frickING BLEEDING HEART PUSSY

quote:

Administration, parents and staff involved were devastated to learn that others were offended and hurt by the Pocahontas float. I have offered several public and private apologies to those offended.

In regard to sensitivity toward Native Americans, the school is taking action to ensure that no individual from any culture is singled out in a negative way. We admit this was not culturally sensitive. Current online discussions can be unproductive. We encourage civil dialogue, rather than negativity. We don’t need threats we need increased understanding.

Worst part of the whole story. People need to stop caving to these idiots.

You know as a white man, I am constantly bombarded with the stereotype that all white guys are evil, stupid and clumsy. We cant dance, cant frick, cant fight or cant make it through the day without the help of some women or some minority showing us the light. Ain't fiction fun.

I thought we decimated all the Indians? Good thing we pushed them all out West so we don't have these problems in the south.

This is 21st century racism. It’s different than looking at something like Chip and Dale or Mickey Mouse dressing up as that. It’s not the same as someone’s culture. We’re looking at all the natives throughout all the Americas and saying, ‘look we can boil you down and centralize you to this costume and make you look like a fool,’”


These students weren't dressing up as historic Native Americans ... they were dressing up as the Disney character Pocahontas and how the Native Americans dressed up in the movie. No one was trying to do an authentic depiction of Native Americans.

Long story short, this dude is a loser. But not because he's Native American, but because he's a douche.
