Meanwhile in the People's Republic of Canada, 3 whiners have caused who-knows-how-much economic damage to a store chain, as it has to fill garbage dumps with items that kind of remind Indians of themselves:
You know, all I have to do is change a few words:
H&M stores across Canada have pulled faux feather headdresses from their shelves after receiving complaints the items are offensive to aboriginals. [Earth to person with no personal responsibility: inanimate objects don't offended people. Inanimate objects JUST SIT THERE. People are offended when PEOPLE GET OFFENDED. What goes on in your head is your problem, not everyone else's.]
Kim Wheeler, an Ojibwa-Mohawk from Winnipeg, said she first saw the $15 fashion accessories while shopping with her daughter last week at the store in Vancouver's Pacific Centre mall.
"My first instinct was to buy all of them and throw them in the garbage," [because after generations of living under socialism/welfare she has no idea how supply and demand work]...It's not honouring us. It's not flattering us. It's making a mockery of our culture....We just don't think it's cool."
The 44-year-old woman, a media relations worker and former employee of The Canadian Press, [obviously the only reason this stupid story ended up getting printed] quickly realized she wasn't prepared to spend that much money to make a point that might not be heard.
Instead, she fired off an email to the company.
"Headdresses are worn by chiefs in some of our communities ... It is a symbol of respect and honour and should not be for sale as some sort of cute accessory. It is not honourable nor flattering. [and anything that fails to flatter us has to be destroyed]
"People in my community have kind of been fighting that whole 'hipster headdressing' for awhile now.[because we have no actual problems.]"
Emily Scarlett, a Toronto-based spokeswoman for the Swedish fashion chain... (Hey! If they're Swedish, why not fight fire with fire: start your own store, and sell viking helmets. Then she'll understand, because she'll feel every bit as dishonored and humiliated as you are. Or not.)

Burger King outlets across Canada have pulled paper crowns from their shelves after receiving complaints the items are offensive to white people.
Above: a hate crime in progress
Jeb Thurmond, an Scots-Irish from Freehold, said he first saw the fashion accessories while eating with his daughter last week.
"It's not honouring us. It's not flattering us. It's making a mockery of our culture.
"We just don't think it's cool."
"Crowns are worn by kings in some of our communities ... It is a symbol of respect and honour and should not be for sale as some sort of cute accessory. It is not honourable nor flattering."
"Of course we never want to offend anybody or come off as insensitive," Scarlett said. "We're always about being there for our customers" [who now have to pay for the cost of dumpstering so much merchandise.]
Scarlett was unsure if the crowns would also be removed from burger king stores in other countries. [Which means that if I'm off getting shot in Syria, or starving in Sudan, I might still run the risk of finding an excuse to get offended.]
