Yet no-one is offended by the other headdresses fashioned after the South-American Incas.

I have to admit that even I cringed just a little when I saw the full Native American style headdress. However, I had to catch myself because if I am going to be offended by one… I should be offended by the other.

Whilst we are even more aware that discrimination still exists, to make such a comment is disturbingly hypocritical. You say it’s awkward but for who? How do you know that this man does not have Indian ancestry? Because he does not look like how you deem he should look like? That sounds racist to me (but hey, I could be wrong; but then again I also see nothing wrong with the pics) Carnival does not sponsor, promote or encourage discrimination. So sorry. Please pick a new bone to bark about and do it over there —-> in the small minded section

Let me guess, the color of his skin. You have no idea where his bloodlines run you just want someone to hate as usual and to also play victim like the Atlantic slave trade was the only one. Even the all – mouthy juiced onion doesn’t respond to that.

Because you are told to wear clothes why do you work everyday ? Why have a house because this is what been told to you if this young man wants to wear this so be it . Sorry your offended by this Get over it if he chooses to partake in such activities who gives you the right to criticize . So if a white person wants to be a Gombey dancer will he be denied the right , but it’s okay for them to partake in the activities during Barbour night .

Guess the churches haven’t converged a mass meeting on this yet

So what are you telling me only the black race can wear this attire.. You all are to stuck up and I don’t see anything disrespectful about this.. I see DIVERSITY… IT CARNIVAL TIME IN BERMUDA.. Go complain about that…

This is not about race.. This is for all to wear.. Not the first carnival to have Indian attire and it wouldn’t be the last.. People always looking for something negative to say.. So what suppose to happen.. Tell whites or any other race that they can’t participate and wear certain costumes because of their skin tone.. You all are ridiculous…

I know Bermuda is conservative but is there a shortage of G-strings because that is the carnival dress code.
Just saying.

The “Indian” headdress on some dude is not cool.
