This picture is offensive. Not because it is Michelle Williams nor because of how should looks- which by the way I would never allow a photographer to print me looking so bad. Apparently this picture is considered offensive because it is racist against Native Americans!! Why? Personally I think because everything is offensive and racist to somebody, somewhere all of the time. The official reasoning however, is listed as someone other than an Indian dressing up kind of Indian-ish. Apparently nobody went to the chief in the wigwam and asked for special permission to wear braids and moccasons. Oh yeah I went there because people are ridiculous!
Clothing and fashion statements do not belong to one group of people. Not to mention when one of these controversies arises (like the Victoria Secret model wearing a head dress or anything Al Sharpten has ever talked about) the responses are more racist than the actual thing. Someone wrote on Perez Hilton how politically correctness has stifled society and it is ridiculous and the next responder claimed that by defending a harmless picture that person was clearly white and therefore found wanting racial equality for "marginalized Americans" ridiculous as well (why is shitting all over white people considered okay by the way?)
For this photoshoot Williams also dressed in several other costumes, including ones that referenced Jackie Kennedy. Are the Kennedys going to get up in arms I mean she also played Marylin Monroe too?
God I hate when I have to defend Michelle Williams but people annoy me more than her sometimes.
