My daughter's public school in Indiana is having "Hawaiian Day" today. That's offensive, isn't it? (self.casualconversation)

I dropped her off this morning and saw girls (and boys) wearing grass skirts, some of them with coconut bras too. I'm not sure what else is going on, but it doesn't seem very respectful of a native culture that we have seriously fucked over. Would they have a "Native American Day" and let kids come in wearing feathered headdresses?

Or am I reading too much into it?

It's insane watching American race politics from the outside. The fact that OP even asked the question implies a deep level of crazy I find hard to understand.
