    That’s neither exclusive nor specifically for being white, lots of people of other skin colors don’t have to worry about that, and aren’t impacted by it. I have never heard anyone talk about yellow or white privilege for Japanese.

    I’m not denying white privilege exists, but the fact that I don’t mind a T-shirt saying Caucasian, is not a symptom of that IMO.
    If I was a fan of Indian culture, and had a shirt with the name of a tribe, please explain why that would be offensive to an Indian?
    Maybe then I can understand the point some people here are trying to make.

    Edit:
    I guess this could be related to some sports using Indian imagery, that is completely out of context, and could be perceived as cultural appropriation I guess. They are playing under a “false” banner. But we don’t have that or anything similar in Europe AFAIK.

      It’s exclusively white in America. I’m sure there are other countries with other systems. I don’t live in those so I don’t know their history and systems.

        Not everything is about USA, “We” meaning white Americans is a pretty big dose of being self centered.

          If you’re not talking about America, in a thread about a topic about Native Americans and their symbolism, then I admit I have no idea what you’re going on about.
