Comedian Kevin Hart is unapologetic after an online backlash over his toddler son’s birthday party. Some think playing ‘cowboys and Indians’ is an abominable tradition that belongs with blackface at the dump of history.
Critics said dressing as Native Americans is cultural appropriation; kids running around going “pew-pew” at each other are being indoctrinated to take for granted the horrific brutal subversion of the continent by European colonists; and that the party was particularly offensive coming so close to Thanksgiving. Hart called the backlash “stupid s***.”
