Think of it this way: It's like if Hasidic curls became cool with German hipsters. It's not cool, it's offensive. Please don't wear this out.
A federal law known as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act protects all native birds and their parts from unregulated collection, this includes feathers found on the ground. If you happen to be Native American yourself, you may be exempt from the confines of the federal laws regulating the possession and use of native bird feathers.
With that said I highly urge anyone that is thinking about making a more authentic headdress to consider this before venturing forth with their project, as violation of this Act carries quite a hefty fine per feather. I'm sorry if this comes across as scaremongering as that is not my intention. I'm sure that the OP used imitation feathers, I just don't want anyone to get in trouble over something that can be easily avoided.
TL;DR That badass feather you found on the ground might end up biting you in the ass. Be sure to do your research before using it for artistic endeavors such as this one.
Don't worry about the negative comments....there are always some that are over politically correct.
You are not being biased or racist!
Good on you! From a supporter in Australia.
This is not in any way appropriate.
No, really. It's not.
