Comment Could we have some kind of explanation about why this person is performing with this kind of headdress? --Kritzolina (talk) 17:50, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment Yeah, that's quite disconcerting and reminiscent of blackface. That's not an argument to oppose a feature, but on the face of it, I'm pretty put off by it. I hope there's a good explanation. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:41, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment +1. --Aristeas (talk) 08:29, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I have no idea. To me it's just a typical Indian headdress but it certainly can't be a FP if it has an offensive and racist meaning behind it. I hope someone with more cultural knowledge can give a clear explanation about this issue. IamMM (talk) 11:38, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- The problem is: Yes, this looks like a typical headdress worn by indigenous people in North America, but the person wearing it seems to be a Czech singer with no connections to this ethnicity. As such it can be regarded an instance of Cultural appropriation. While we certainly could have images as FP that show cultural appropriation, it should be very clear from the image title and description what we are seeing in such instances. Otherwise we are blindly promoting things that are considered racist. Kritzolina (talk) 14:54, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment They are banned at the Glastonbury festival and some aspects are illegal in the US, BBC article. There is also a paper on the subject or an easy read on MTV. --Cart (talk) 14:46, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

I withdraw my nomination According to the discussion above, I am convinced that this image can potentially be considered offensive to a group of people. Thanks for all the votes and comments -- IamMM (talk) 16:46, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
