Screech in turn had lines drawn under his eyes, grunted, and used a small toy axe to cut an apple on the teacher's desk in half. Zack's teacher gave him an F and set up a visit with a Native American man she knew. Zack learned a lot, but the man later died.

FortuneCookie 11/03/21 5:13:54 PM #16:	Thanks to all who answered my question. Wearing the headdress after is a definitely faux pas on the show's part. It's one thing to have Zack behave in an ignorant manner in the beginning. It's another to repeat the folly as a tribute. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:959662335] in Remember w...

Mark Paul talked about it in his Zack to the Future podcast which is where the quote comes from within that article. It's definitely something that hasn't aged well For those who haven't watched the episode, him dressing up like that (in the thumbnail) was supposed to be his serious take on what he learned about Native Americans, and IIRC he had learned that he had a very small amount of Native American (Cherokee?) in his heritage. The presentation was supposed to be him taking it seriously and that he had learned about it and missed his dead friend. But, obviously doing something like this in the early 90s is completely different from doing it now so it's easy to look back and say he was racist. The Podcast episode (that he does with Dashiell, the creator of the Zack Morris is trash videos) also talked about some other things wrong with that episode regarding Native American characterization, and I believe even had a Native American comedian on the show as a guest star which was interesting.
