Chris Hemsworth blasted for dressing as Native American for New Year's Eve
Chris Hemsworth is getting burned on Instagram for a photo posted by his wife, model Elsa Pataky, featuring the "Thor" star dressed as a Native American.
The picture, which features Hemsworth and several other guests at a "Wild West" themed New Year's Eve party wearing Native American face paint and headdresses, has been blasted by users accusing the group of cultural appropriation.
"As a native woman, its not about being offended or being upset, ITS ABOUT A LACK OF RESPECT FOR OUR CULTURE AND ANCESTORS," wrote one commenter. "Why y'all wanna defend black people and their culture but not us? DRESSING LIKE THIS IS NO DIFFERENT TO US THEN DRESSING IN BLACK FACE."
