[ QUOTE ]
Whether or not you think it's offensive, I think the idea of a white person dressing up as a native American and performing a dance ritual during a sporting event halftime is highly inappropriate.

Why? It's not done mockingly.
The act of imitating something else is not by default offensive. Of course, depending on how it's done, it can be offensive. But it's not inherently so.
Why in the hell would it matter what race the person is who's doing it?
