Jessica Simpson may be scalped

080408_jessica-simpsonwidecPoor Jessica, as if her very public break-up with Tony Romo wasn’t tough enough, she’s gone and pissed off the Native Americans. Earlier this week, Jessica was asked if she would take back the pricey boat that she bought for former boy-toy Tony. She hastily responded with a no, saying, “I’m not an Indian giver.”

Her loaded response has ignited a racial controversy, offending Native Americans across the country.

Jacqueline L. Pata, the executive director of the National Congress of American Indians, explained that the phrase originated from the idea of native people giving and sharing with one another but that over time it has transformed into a prejudiced phrase that implies Native Americans give and revoke gifts.

Most people flippantly use the comment ‘Indian giver,’ without realizing its true meaning…this is both incorrect in the way most people use it, and culturally insensitive to Native people, she said.”

Buck up Jess, this too will pass. Go shopping or something, you’ll feel better.

    I don’t think she meant any harm. It wasn’t the best thing to say.

    A very apt picture for your “Jessica Simpson may be scalped” headline. From the look on her face, and her hand nervously twisting her hair, one could imagine that a tomohawk-bearing warrior is getting too close for comfort.
