I can imagine someone quite innocently putting an Indian in a chair wrapped in a blanket as a Thanksgiving decoration. While I don't believe such a decoration should be banned, I do understand how such a thing may be interpreted as ignorant and possibly spiteful. I think it would be the burden of the affected group to inform people of any insensitivities, however I don't think either a hanging witch or an Indian in a blanket should result in legal censorship or the bucket of black paint groups like the anti-defamation league employ.
