This “talk” is especially annoying to people whose self-image is to ignore everything. In principle, it is difficult for them to show attention to others and their feelings – they simply do not see it. However, they do especially poorly if they do not know the victims personally and rarely see them, such as blacks. Shouldn’t you say “Mohrenkopf” for them? Or the natives – what do they care if you keep calling them “Indians” and dressing up and making up to look like them?
Admittedly, Native Americans don’t notice a thing when your son dresses up as an “Indian”. You may not like it, but that’s not the point. It’s about you. It’s about taking a right that no one has given you. And that you are doing this in the extended context of genocide, which also refers to “Mohrenkopf” and that
“Gypsy schnitzel” is used. It’s about you, as a white person, unsolicited feasting on a foreign culture that has endured incredible suffering because of exactly the same power attitude.
It’s the “bad thing” about letting your son dress as a Native American: you’re continuing a tradition that divides people into two classes: valuable and worthless. You may consider it strict and deride it as “culture cancellation”, but there are a whole host of jokes, clichés and disrespectful behavior.
is, has always been, and finally must be discarded. Deep down you know it too – the problem is that you don’t want anyone to tell you anything.
