Mountain out of a molehill, people.

Racism? Really? It's a pattern.

If it were making fun of the Navajo, saying they are somehow lesser citizens, then THAT would be racism This is simply the use of patterns, stylings, and ideas for fashion. I mean seriously, it's nothing we wouldn't do and haven't done to the American flag for years, why are you freaking out? I think it's cute. Relax.

Welcome to America, where the main entertainment is always drama for drama's sake. ~rolls eyes~

Apparently. I actually lost a lj friend over my opinion on this.

My opinion is either everything is open to being used for whatever or nothing is. I'd prefer everything so that creativity can flourish, rather than nothing and watch the death of art. Frankly, I think that things becoming pop culture actually helps society learn to accept them more and/or brings their plight to people's attention. I mean, as bad as this sounds, a few years ago, lesbians were way more accepted than gay men because lesbians had become a part of pop culture, which I think helped them get a leg up in acceptance in society (I'm not saying that that's the only reason, but I think it helped). Of course, now things are becoming much more even and gay men are turning into a pop culture thing, which I'm very happy about, because it means society is learning to accept them for who they are.

So, yeah, that's what I think. I'm not sure that this applies 100% to this current situation, but I think that it does apply a little bit.

PS: Sorry if this isn't coherent. I'm sleep-deprived and can't sleep.
