Jessica Simpson under fire for saying “Indian Giver”

Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson has put her foot in her mouth again.

This time, the 29-year-old singer – who famously confused tuna with chicken because the label said “Chicken of the Sea” – has outraged some in the Native American community for using a racial stereotype.

Earlier this week, TMZ.com asked Simpson if she would be taking back the expensive boat she bought for ex Tony Romo. Her reply? “I’m not an Indian giver.”

“I am shocked she said that. I didn’t know people still said that,” one person wrote on the website, theforumsite. “She will be apologizing … there is outrage.”

Added another TMZ.com commenter: “I’m a Native American and I cringed when I heard Jessica Simpson comment about us Native Americans. Am I mad!?! I should be, but look at who the comment is coming from.”

A third chimed in: “As a Native American, in particular a Dakota, I find those comments quite sad and stereotypical. But not surprising, if you look who said them.”
