Music-festival season is underway, and it’s important to make sure to dress appropriately — not just for the weather, but for cultural sensitivity as well. If you’re not sure what I mean, that’s okay! I spent some time on Social Justice Internet today finding some helpful tips so that you can understand what I mean and why it’s so important: Aside from obvious no-nos like Native-American headdresses or Indian bindis, you also need to make sure that the patterns on your clothes aren’t offensive. That’s right — it’s not enough to simply make sure your shirt is clean and doesn’t have any insensitive or crude images on it, you actually also also need to research the pattern and make sure it couldn’t be interpreted as having been inspired by “tribal” or Aztec culture:

I guess blackface is right out then.
I see.
So, make other cultures irrelevant.
There is an image out there of “co-exist” done with the different brands of firearms. Sorry, I’m not good at loading pictures, or I would post it.
Well, unless you’re going to an Al Jolson show. :>}
So does this make music festivals a ‘safe place’?
I’m sure they’re gun free zones, so yes they would be absolutely safe. Gun free zones are ALWAYS safe.
Although not listed, I presume Confederate battle flags are out.
OK then. That swastika tattoo on the forehead I wanted is right out.
Safe as the Rolling Stones Altamont concert in 1969?

What about a plaid shirt that uses a clan tartan? Is that too “tribal?”
Wonder how my “Fry Mumia” shirt would go over?
Native American fashion is popular & quite attractive (see above), & will be so long after the unicorn is dead.
Don't these people understand what RACISM is? How will their supposed allies in the fashion industry, & native Americans, who hand make some beautiful stuff, feel about such a ban?
As for disturbing patterns, this clothing makes me dizzy. Does dizziness qualify as being offended?
Free expression is a direct result of Capitalism and free thought.
Neither of which shall be tolerated by the Left!!!!
This is dine list of vhat is verboten at the concerts!
STRIPES (Be sensitive to those serving in our penal institutions)
POLKA DOTS (What are you, making fun of the Polish?)
SOLID COLORS (these could be offensive to ANY ethnic group, so Watch it!)
Patterns on clothes reminiscent of the people of the New Hebrides—Ok if you get their permission in writing)
Patterns from the Isle of Wight
Patterns from the Isle of Lucy
BLONDE HAIR
BROWN HAIR
GREY HAIR
BLACK HAIR
WHITE HAIR
BLUE HAIR
PURPLE HAIR
FIRE ENGINE RED HAIR.
ANYTHING WORN THAT IS MADE FROM MATERIALS THAT CAME FROM THE EARTH—(So as not to offend the Atheists because God created the Earth and they'd rather not think about that).
Remember, Only things that are offensive to straight people, upstanding citizens, Patriots or Christians is acceptable to the Left.
So go and enjoy your concerts!
I was thinking I’d model the latest Velvet Jones pimp ensemble. I’ve been wearing that to concerts for the last 20 years and it’s always a hit wif da laydees.
How about a shirt displaying a map of Dumbassistan? Of course with a “You Are Here -—>!” annotation.
Got goldfish in them platform heel shoes?
“The Source defines cultural appropriation as “adopting elements of a different culture, typically without consent,” and that is bad.””
Exactly! So if a Cherokee, Inuit, Hindu, Scandinavian, West African or Bolivian wears jeans, sneakers, a t-shirt with or without band name, and baseball cap that is insulting and degrading to Americans, all Americans, and should be shunned and ridiculed. Add a denim jacket and now you make us REALLY ANGRY!
