I'm cool with gladiators @LittleMix. Xena? Totally badass. Native people? NOT FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. Read up: http://nativeappropriations.com/2010/04/but-why-cant-i-wear-a-hipster-headdress.html

#SaluteWarrior = stereotyping and cultural appropriation. Not appreciation or honor. Tell @LittleMix what you think.

@NativeApprops Is it my imagination or did @LittleMix remove the worst offenders from their Pinterest board without saying anything?
