I agree on all points.

Another time overinclusivity rears its head is when people get vicariously offended for all indigenous people when they see someone wearing a headdress. One tribe says its ceremonial, can another tribe license it out … commercially … and all is fine? The same question as you, who gets to sign the contract, who has a say? How do you know the person wearing the headdress at a festival is breaking a relevant rule, or if they arent of a tribe, or if they didnt get permission - you cant tell by skin color or any phenotype so who gets to say - , and so on and so forth.

The consensus making process is completely broken because even the most progressive and sensitive people are doing an extremely insensitive overgrouping.
