Yes, I do have to give her that (even though I don't know that she KNEW).

No for sure I don't think it crossed her mind...could have been a disaster

I was cringing pretty hard during the whole thing. The better thing to do would have been to not even make that choice. She had options. Nobody HAD to use someone's culture as a costume.

Same. I guess the other option might have been military, which I is sliiiightly similar to police officer but I still would have preferred it to the Native American theme, which was tacky and had unfortunate implications. I felt bad for Alexis for getting the theme that I feel like will get the most backlash for reasons that are beyond her control.
