I’ve got some bad news for all the Native Americans/American Indians: We won. So shut the fuck up.

Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot of complaining from the peanut gallery about the “hipster headdress” phenomenon. Native Americans are insulted by it. Guess what? We can co-opt anything we want from Native American culture. We wanted the land you had. We fought several wars against you and took it. I’m sure you don’t like manifest destiny, but I’m noticing you’re dealing with it.

Do you know why you don’t get to complain? Federal subsidies. We pay you every single year to live on reservations and shut the fuck up. If you want to complain, quit taking the money. Quit subsidizing your casinos with federal tax revenue. Deal with your rampant alcoholism and poverty. (This especially goes to the Lakota Sioux, who refused to take the federal money awarded to them, and now have several billion dollars sitting in a federal account gaining interest. We’re not going to give you your land back. It’s ours now. So take the money and fund your schools. Did you know Native Americans have the lowest levels of literacy in the United States? Yup. It’s true. You’re even worse than blacks and hispanics.)

Your failure to adapt into a modern world has cemented your second-class citizenship in our country. The fact that a few hot white chicks are wearing headdresses is the least of your problems. If you really want to complain about the mockery being made of your culture, look inward. Take a long, hard look at all of your failures. There have been few societies on Earth handed so much, that have done so little with it. You don’t develop technology. You don’t develop your own education systems. You don’t invest in healthcare. You simply pump money into casinos in the blind hopes you’ll get more money back from ol’ pale face. Your economic disparity between the rich and the poor makes the rest of the United States look like a glowing utopia.

Your argument is cancelled. We’re not oppressing you anymore. You’re oppressing yourselves. Fuck off.
