Givin history it appears that way, regardless of if a Native American designed it or not. But if a Native American designed it, it's a good argument to tell people to get over it lol

It was SJW because she wasn't attractive, and also non-white probably. And have you ever noticed that she's holding a box of Land O Lakes butter? Its like an infinite mirror, like in The Last Jedi. What's the world coming to when an underaged looking butter mascot doesn't conform to Western standards of white feminine beauty and disrespects the franchise lore?

this is a joke by the way, I figured I should say that

Hm, maybe not. Might be more of an appropriation thing, idk.

I really don't know the history of it, I kind of just took the picture for granted because it looks like it was developed a hundred years before I was conceived and I like Native American imagery and it seemed like a tasteful depiction.

Probably not. It's just a Native american woman holding butter. Not even some kind of cartoonish caricature.

If that is racist, then you could accuse any representation of minorities in advertising to be racist arbitrarily.

Can you elaborate on this?

All I know is they decided to eliminate the picture, but I didn't know if there was some uproar or anger or something about it leading up to that.

I assume they took it out for the same reason the baseball team Cleveland Indians took out Chief Wahoo as their main logo. They were racial caricatures.
