which of these would look better on me and fit the role?

So your school mascot is an Indian?! Before I go off on how *wrong* that is to stereotype an entire race of people and how it is NOT an honor, etc., let me give you some tips: I was born an American Indian and I had ZERO clothes on when that happened. When I wear a bathing suit, I am an American Indian. When I wear my work uniform, I am still an American Indian. Today I am wearing a tan sweater, skinny jeans and Uggs. Guess what? I'm still an American Indian. My daughter, who is 3 and has also been an American Indian since the day she was born, is wearing a zebra print top. (http://www.gymbohaven.com/wildone2008/wildone.htm) She is not a zebra. She is still an American Indian wearing a zebra-print top. We also NEVER "woo woo woo" nor have we ever "tomahawk chopped." I like to read and shop. She likes to play in her pretend kitchen.

So, in case you're trying to portray us Native people, how about going in your everyday clothes with some books about American Indians. Spread some knowledge, not stereotypes.

news flash...we aren't MASCOTS. we are people. why don't you get some tribal african outfit and blacken your face and see how far you get out your door before someone knocks you down?

this is the 21st century. we aren't your mascots or sidekicks anymore. this is sickening.

ETA: the point remains..we are NOT mascots and its a cop out to say you are just doing what the school wants. you want me to complain to your school? post the name and location. I'll gladly send them a letter with many others against the use of people as mascots.

What are you trying to be? A sexy mascot? Thats not what the mascot is for... noooo.... just get the costume the school provides!
