    I'm generally opposed to the concept of cultural appropriation. I'm Chicksaw, one of the so-called "civilized" tribes--so-called because of our zeal in appropriating European culture. As for costumes, if they're obviously meant to mock a racial group, they're offensive. I personally would have not problem if some white person showed up at a costume party dressed up like an Indian, unless it was obviously done to mock. Racism, unfortunately, is a human characteristic--not confined to any one race or group. It comes from the logical fallacy of over-generalization, and the human tendency to judge a book by its cover.

    Declaring that you were a member in good standings with the local chapter of the Confederate White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan didn’t exactly endear you
    to the African American community.in your high school.

    Sure they can. They even can be the worst. They are also very revengeful.

    I think he means that blacks learned the lesson of violence, hatred, and cruelty, only too well from their former slave masters and oppressors,
    and we’re out for revenge – i.e. payback is a bitch.

    Which isn’t true but widely accepted in the white community.
