Woman calls her SIL a 'typical white woman,' after tone-def attack.

When this woman is angry with her SIL, she asks Reddit:&quot;AITA for destroying my SIL&#39;s beadwork after what she said?&quot; I [F25] am an indigenous lesbian. I got off of my rez after years of hard work and lucky breaks and manage to have a home that I&#39;ll someday own completely.  My brother [27M] and his wife [37F] moved into my home about a year and a half ago because he fell on hard times. I&#39;ve been allowing him to stay and help with bills, but just enough that I can ease some financial strain while also for him to save money.  I loved his wife until last Halloween. She, a Caucasian woman, dressed up as an &quot;Indian&quot; to be cute, and even my brother was appalled by it; she literally put a red handprint over her mouth, which is a symbol of the heartwrenching MMIW movement, and wore a cheap Spirit buckskin outfit with feathers and a buckskin headband.  My brother begged her to change, and she wouldn&#39;t because &quot;If it were truly that offensive it wouldn&#39;t be sold.
