To be fair the Italians have a 500+ year history of mixing up Indigenous Americans and Indians.

It’s even worse if you consider that it’s still offensive to Photoshop that on her even if she was Native American.

Perhaps they could remove some clothing and make her very muscular

American in Italy here! I am not justifying this, just explaining it from an Italian perspective. First, the paper is not mixing up her Indian heritage here with Native American. They took the idea that she is seeking a white male VP running mate and wrote “hunting for a white man”, which conjured up a funny (to them) homage to native Americans in spaghetti westerns. Second, this paper is a sensationalist rag sold in grocery store checkout lanes, with no expectation for the stories to be good, or free of any number of unsavory isms.

native Americans in spaghetti westerns.

I’m not sure how it is in Italy, but a lot of the older Italians I know absolutely love old westerns (of… Varying quality)

SaltySalamander ,

Spaghetti westerns are called that because they originate from Italy.

Yep. They also created giant groups of people who think the saguaro cactus grows in Texas.

It…it doesn’t?

AZ and CA, and Mexico are where they grow, I believe.

Huh, TIL.

As a European I will admit I have no idea what’s “wrong” with the picture. Other than it just looking like a mouthpiece for people instead of actually reporting things

goldteeth ,

Someone, somewhere has evidently misinterpreted the fact that US presidential candidate Kamala Harris (pictured center) is of Indian ancestry - as in her family is from the country in south Asia - and instead photoshopped her into the stereotypical Native American “Indian” aesthetic. Why they have chosen to do this eludes me.

orrk ,

because they don’t actually know WHAT Indian she is, didn’t bother to look into it, and assumed it to be the American one

Donut ,

Ohh! As a European I do know the difference between those two types. It just didn’t click that they got it wrong, I thought they had the feathers wrong (like part of the wrong native American tribe or something)

possiblylinux127 ,

Everything about this image is completely messed up

absquatulate ,

You’re offended that a foreign xenophobic tabloid did not accurately depict her indian heritage in a goddamn caricature? Come on man, live and let live.

Chozo ,

her indian heritage

You're right at the cusp of understanding.

Italian here, they probably did it on purpose so that people would repost it and they succeeded.

You don’t even need to guess it based on whatever USA they posted at the centre. Just look at Giorgia Merdoni at the left.

reddit_sux ,

Europeans mistaking Americans for Indians for centuries.

Socsa ,

Europeans: Americans are so obsessed with race

Also Europeans:
