You don't appropriate native American culture for your stink water, and you don't use it for a product titled "Wild" in French. Your perfume smells like RACISM."As more and more people complained about the Native American imagery, Dior removed its clips and teasers for the ad campaign from the internet on Friday, reported Page Six.The company reportedly consulted with Native Americans while coming up with the ads."For this project, the house of Dior also collaborated with Native American consultants from the 50-year old Indigenous advocacy orgsation, Americans for Indian Opportunity (AIO), to ensure respect for indigenous cultures, values, and heritage," Page Six quoted Esquire magazine.Footage released by Dior features Depp and others discussing their connections to the Native American culture.
