Hey White Bitch, you gonna keep stealing from minorities?

The saddest part? I went to lunch and my idiot waitress had these in her hair. I mean really? You want to be Native American now? For fuck's sake....

I'm pretty sure this caught on due to a combination of Jack Sparrow and Steven Tyler sporting weird shit in their hair.

How is this racist? It's just another fashion fad, as far as I can see.

Hahaha, check @ 1:16, "L'ectric purple."

I see it like I saw white chicks with dreads/beads: Complete lack of self-identity and originality. Next thing you know, white wimmens gonna be sporting Red dots on their forehead as a "fashion fad".

I'll edit the title a bit though.

I've seen a lot of women/girls coming through lately with the thin-feather-next-to-a-color-streak style, I figured someone famous must've made it popular or it was a style from some popular TV show. It can't be from a book, there's too many people all starting this up at the same time for it to be from a book.

You seem to be forgetting about Gwen Stefani back in the 90's with No Doubt...

It wasn't just that video though, it just happens that this was the only photo of her with that dot thingy (whatever it is called) I could find.

Edit: ok, I found out it is called a Bindi and searching on that found a lot more images...

I don't really see the feathers in hair as a strictly native american thing, definitely not pink or purple ones, especially since I don't think it is very common for modern natives anyway.
When I was a kid we would lace colored strings into our hair and hang feathers and beads from it, so it isn't a new thing either.

But wasn't it just soooo hard to figure out? Days spent throwing your hands up in frustration, cursing deities you had to make up after running out of gods to curse... But now you can just SNAP-ON and SNAP-OFF the feathers!

The native americans were hardly the first homo sapiens to decorate their bodies with the body parts of other animals.

@Li3n

Well to be fair, if she's of South American descent she could have native americans in the family tree, but using Hispanic as a descriptor of that is so weird...

Jul 26, 2011#32

Denbrought

IIRC, native American is used to refer to North-Am descent and culture, while hispanic denotes South/Central-Am descent, probably mixed with a shot of spaniard, and with the characteristic culture. But don't call me on it, I'm no anthropologist, just another Stephen Colbert fan.

"When I say I don't see race, I mean I don't see Black people. But I can spot a Mexican at a hundred paces."

Jul 26, 2011#33

@Li3n

Wiki to the rescue:

In the United States, the term is in official use in the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino, defined as "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race."[5][6]

But i'd at least expect someone that describes themselves as Hispanic to have some spanish ancestry... at the very least one drop.

Where exactly is the dividing line between Hispanic/Latino, then? I used to live in (E)Spain, but "Mexican" there was used the same way British people say "Silly American."

Doesn't really count against the fact that not all "hispanics" are non-white... (although tehnically not being of spanish or portugese descent would mean you cannot be hispanic)...

If there's no spaniard ancestry, wouldn't that prohibit her from being "spanish?" This is getting confusing, let's just call her a telemundo chick (chica?)

Hispanic (in America) =from latin America; Spanish = from Spain. You're not Latino unless you're from central America. It's similar to Soccer = Football...

From what I could tell, anyone related directly from my bloodline were either Mexican born or previously Aztec/Mayan though honestly I've never done an ancestry search. As far as I'm concerned, they could all be shot in the streets from the drug wars for all I'd know/care.

Well in those pictures you posted a while back you never struck me as non-white, but i don't have any experience with native americans, and obviously we don't see everyone's race by one drop rules (not to say we're not racist, just look at how one of our gipsy villages looks like in the Borat film, and no one cares).
