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

Fair enough if that's true. However, as I told someone else, I got in touch with an indigenous Hawaiian on Facebook and, while their personal opinion is just one out of many, I give it more weight than non-indigenous opinions and she says she felt it was appropriation and offensive.
I mean, obviously regardless the coconut bras make it clear your kid's school are ignorant and just doing it as an offensive costume. Even if (and that's a big if) the school's intent is positive, they need to take a step back, sit themselves down, and ask themselves some very pointed questions.
