A worker at an Old Western photo studio expresses discomfort with the availability of Native American costumes that are often worn mockingly by white families. Concerned about the impact, the writer seeks advice on how to approach their boss about changing this practice, citing a previously removed costume selection as evidence of potential sensitivity. The column suggests a gentle conversation rather than accusatory language, advising that constructive dialogue is more effective than confrontation.
I wish I could say I was shocked that in the year 2025, people are still dressing up like Native Americans for Western photo shoots, but given the state of, well, everything, I'm not really that surprised.
Instead, I would suggest doing a gentle 'call in,' instead of a call out - which is more likely to promote a constructive dialogue without putting her on the defensive.
