    I guess, but there are many different types of racism and this is not the same as, for example, burning a cross on a black family’s lawn.

    This is not active hate. This person very likely has no animosity toward indigenous Americans. He probably has no idea about the significance of the war bonnet or why it’s offensive.

    So I think this is a subcategory which needs to be highlighted specifically because of people like that.
