  When grown people are into playing Indians the game is no longer innocent and the smiling   faces above actually will turn into some form of mocking, often not even realizing this   themselves. Apart from designs that are more creative than they are authentic, the constantly   reoccurring "hau"gesture, woowoo's and tomahawks only make more fun of Native Americans   than anything else. Offensive? Yes. Racist? Most certainly, although I know already in advance   that a lot of people will disagree with me and find it "overdone". I guess it's hard to get rid of a   "tradition" but maybe these people should try a be Indians for a couple of days or weeks to   see how they like it. Just a thought.
