I'M SO MAD AT YOU.

No, just kidding(sorry, that was a horrible joke). I love it when people express their opinions, and it gives me a chance to see the other side, so thank you! I never saw it that way, and I'd be happy if they included my culture as well. I was delighted to see that Gajak, a favorite Indian sweet of mine, was added to the possible options of favorite foods for dodos.

You make a great point, but I think that from my standpoint and from yours, neither of us would understand why headdresses were removed unless we looked at it from the view of the person who asked for them to be removed in the first place. I looked at the AJ Wiki and so it seems that one person, if not a group of Native Americans, found them offensive and asked AJHQ for them to be removed.

Maybe they thought is was mocking of their culture? Who knows, but the point is, if it could possibly cause an uproar over Animal Jam as a whole - from parents, other players, etc - then AJHQ had no option but to remove it.

I have a hard to pronouce first and last name that I'd get mocked for, and now-a-days, people in my school make racist jokes that aren't very funny about Indians and mock their accent. Me and my few Indian and Asian friends have been stuck with that kind of teasing, bullying, whatever you want to call it, for years, so I can kind of relate to how the Native Americans felt about headdresses when they were added to the game.
