Yandy's "sexy Indian" costume sparks Twitter's backlash: "You're dirty"



[ad_1]

Online lingerie company Yandy has been summoned again this weekend for her "sexy" outfits – this time for her collection of "sexy Indian Indian" and "sexy Indian" creations that many call "highly offensive" and "racists".

This happens less than a week after Yandy was summoned for his "sexy" "Handmaid's Tale" costume. The company removed the suit from the website after the backlash and issued a statement saying it had become clear that our "Yandy Brave Red Maiden Costume" was considered a symbol of women's oppression rather than a expression of women's empowerment.

People on Twitter slammed the brand for its 43 outfits under the categories "sexy Native American" and "sexy Indian" and launched a #CancelYandy hashtag campaign, demanding that the company remove the "offensive" costumes.

Some users even mentioned the fact that Yandy quickly removed the "Handmaid's Tale" suit after negative consumer reactions, but continues to sell "cultural" suits that are severely criticized.

Yandy did not immediately respond to a request for comment, although this is not the first time the company known for its sexy outfits has been called for its Native American line.

Last October, a group of Native American women gathered at Yandy.com's Arizona office to protest against the "sexualization of indigenous peoples."

Amanda Blackhorse, who organized the event, made posters calling at the end of the cultural costumes.

"We oppose that you use us as costumes and take advantage of them … We are people, not costumes," she said, reports Phoenix New Times.

The company did not take off the clothes after last year's protests and, since Monday, still sells the costumes.
