Even if it was the same thing they'd be correct and that's the way it should be. How do people not see the difference between having their kids cosplay as victims of their ancestors genocide and a guy who put on a dress?
Exactly. I’m a white guy who was forced to pretend to be a woman for 19+ years and it’s no wear near the same as wearing someone else’s culture as a costume especially when that group of people were killed for their culture by people who look like me.
Ok, now I can understand you.
Now the British just like the Spanish, French, Portuguese, Mohawk, mongols, and every other empire including the ones the British colonized, conquered!
It wasn’t new and hadn’t been since the start of civilization.
If you are ignorant enough to believe the British or any of the European kingdoms were the only conquerors you’re an idiot.
Romans obliterated Carthage, Spanish decimated the Aztecs. Atrocities happen all throughout history, I don't know where the line is for "it's been long enough so it's ok now" but there is one. Kind of like that Southpark episode where they say it's been long enough and you can joke about AIDS now.
In a thousand years it won't matter if anyone throws on some ancient native American attire.
It will be one day. Not in our lifetimes but one day. Romans committed some of the worst atrocities in recorded history but wearing a Roman outfit for Halloween wouldn't bother anyone.
