- Comment on Ask ARP: Why can’t non-Native children “dress up” like Indians? by Karen L November 24, 2009@dersk, I know you thought it was funny. I’m telling you I thought it was offensive. Furthermore, you have compound that first offense with an idiom that suggests that I am humourless, reflexive, and unthinking?
