Is this fabric offensive?

I really like this fabric but I’m unsure whether it could be seen as offensive or at the least raise an eyebrow if you saw it in someone’s house? It’s got a stereotypical Native American character in it.

I love it, the creature looks like a goblin.

I think its unattractive but not offensive, tbh.

Probably seen as a personal attack on Lady then. Although anyone can answer the questions if they'd like!

I didn't mean them as an attack on anyone, I just think they are important questions.

I love the fabric, but don't agree with the imagery.

The character isn't necessarily Native American, it's portraying animals from South America and there were a mix of peoples from that area. None of who are the colour of the character.

Creature?

The only thing offended is my eye-sight.

Yes because ethnic minorities aren't even human now. Unconscious racism at its finest. Or maybe just a GF (hopefully)
