Unlike Saffron Colonial the Willamette Week are not glorifying the occupation of the native land. Saffron Colonial actively glorifies a time that was at the height of the oppression. I am not opposed to the word 'colonial' as a descriptor, I oppose to it as a style. Did you think Paula Deen's plantation themed wedding was ok?? This is the issue here... White people romanticizing a time that still has very recent scars for the people descended from it.
