Leftists really are wired differently. They’re mentally not all there.

Every white person should fake being American Indian or Hispanic.

That is the only way to end “affirmative action” forever.

How can such a law be constitutional? Making art is considered a form of protected free speech. Who is to say whatever these men made is “counterfeit”. The most they can be charged with is falsely claiming to be of Native American heritage. But if Elizabeth Warren can claim to be an Indian, male swimmers can pretend to be women and Joe Biden poses as President why can’t these guys claim to be Indians if they feel that is what they are? Artist get their inspiration in many different ways.

They did. It was called “passing”

Are you confusing faking being white with "acting white"? They may be similar but not the same.

These two used fake indian hertitage to sell their fraud.
Lefty worship of backward tribes that never left the stone age just made it real easy.

They are charged with selling knock-off tomahawks and blankets, not for being fake indians. Selling a fake anything as authentic is a crime, and they should be convicted if guilty like any other fraudster. But if faking being an indian by itself was a crime, Liz Warren, Dolezal, and the rest of the fake lefties should be in the dock too. Ain’t that so, lefties?

Since that is the case, the headline itself is yet another example why nothing the media says can be trusted.

how come Warren was never charged with fraudulently getting preferential treatment based on her lies about being an Indian?

Does it matter?

Aren’t we supposed to ID as what we want?

My wife bought some native American crafts one time from their website and all of it did have Made in China on them.

What about a sub continent Indian pretending to be a North American one? How would that work in woke circles?
