I'd have to say that... well, I don't exactly dissagree with you. Your point is valid as far as I am concerned. Having followed Outkast's televised shows for the last few months, I can tell you that this was most likely supposed to follow along the same suit that the other preformances have been.
So far, everyone has dressed up in different sports- strange sports, the most 'normal' of them being football, but the others are things like polo, golf, tennis and other such. Their clothing always has a slight 60's 'laugh-in' tone to them, and it's always in terrible neon shades of green and orange.
I've been a fan of Outkast for quite a while. I've heard a lot of what, in specific, Ben Andre has to say about life and his views, and I do not believe that their native american preformance had anything to do with racism. The dance act that they used, they use every other time- it was nothing different, except this time they wore cheesy laugh-in style 'indian' costumes.
You have the right to be offended. I'm not, because I don't think they intended it to be the way everyone else took it. But I can certainly see where others would be offended.
Personally, I think they should have done the tennis outfits again, because those were cute. Especially the bald girl.
