Hello! I usually don't intervene during things like this but I'm gonna explain here since this is kind of evolving into a fight!

[http://apihtawikosisan.com/hall-of-shame/an-open-letter-to-non-natives-in-headdresses/ Here's a more in-deep article on the matter. Please read it]

It is racist because, just like military medals, it's a restricted symbol in a culture. If you wouldn't wear a military medal as a trend, then wearing a headdress is basically hypocrisy. A headdress is a restricted symbol (symbols that represent achievements, and cannot be legitemately possessed or imitated by just anyone).

Basically, it's disrespecting the RESTRICTED symbol of a culture. If you wish to know more about why it's restricted you may click the above article. You need to be given permission to wear a headdress or otherwise you're being disrespectful to Native culture is the point.

If you still don't understand, you can ask/message me on chat or my message wall.
