In March 2014, there was an online uproar when a twenty-year old Harry Styles wore a Native American headdress in a moment of unintentional cultural appropriation.

Currently, Harry is supposed to be in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for a 40th birthday "celebration" honoring James Corden. But, how are we being sold that Harry is in Cabo?

Sombrero? Check. Mariachi band? Check.
Right? Because sombreros are being worn, we're to assume that these folks are in Mexico. Play some Mexican music? Must be in Mexico.
We know that Harry loves Mexico and its people. Remember this wonderful tribute to the colors and dress of Mexican culture and the national treasure and closeted gay icon, Juan Gabriel?

This sombrero wearing is not any different from the Native American head dress cultural miscue.
It is a stereotype. As an American Hispanic, I myself am proud of the music, the clothing and language of the Mexican people. To see folks trying to GPS themselves in Mexico simply by donning the sombrero like it's a duh! no brainer in the middle of August, well.....
Makes us here at Narnia also question, are they even in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico?
