Throwback – Kevin Hart slams ‘dumb’ criticism over son’s Cowboys and Indians bash: ‘Isn’t a racial slur’
USA Today
Kevin Hart is slamming critics who blasted his son’s “Cowboys and Indians” birthday party as culture appropriation.
Hart, 39, and wife Eniko Parrish, 34, sparked controversy over the weekend after sharing images of their son Kenzo Hart’s first birthday party on Instagram Thanksgiving Day, complete with Native-American blankets, cowboy hats and teepees.
“The reason why I’m even bringing this dumb (expletive) up is because it shows just how stupid our world is becoming with opinions,” the comedian said on his SiriusXM show “Straight from The Hart” Wednesday.
He continued: “To throw racial judgement into the development of a 1-year-old’s birthday party where the theme is ‘Cowboys and Indians’? It’s based around the outfits that are given to the young kids!”
