The Native American's don't give a poo poo. There is just a couple whiny sjw's out there looking for a cause to fight for.

The real racism was in that ad put out to get the name changed that featured a lot of "noble savage" bullshit. Imagine my surprise meeting a native american that wasn't dressed in animal skins and possessing some kind of enhanced spirituality to commune with nature bullshit after watching that commercial.

Some of us do. It's not that I go into Tumblresque triggerfits every time I see Chief Wahoo. But it would be nice for us to have control over our own imagery. Or at least not have a literal racial slur used to "celebrate our culture." I also don't endorse weird-rear end hippy types that want to co-opt my cultural identity for their bullshit drum circles.

Basically gently caress white people.

Anthropologists are assholes.

God help you if you let your ethnicity slip during a conference/workshop for an anthro credit. Nothing but creepy white guys in cargo shorts following you around for the rest of the day and asking how "your people applied this prehistoric flint technique". I'm a loving undergrad and grew up in the era of Internet porn and modern tools. Why the gently caress would I know how to make an Acheulean hand axe?

Haha, Native kids don't get adopted. They get shuffled around in temporary foster homes for years so that DSS/DSHS branches can blatantly violate the Indian Child Welfare Act.

I used to work for this lovely old man that owned the pizzeria where I was the day cook/delivery driver. One day he pulled me aside and said, "there's a group of native American in the dining room. Keep an eye out for them." I was baffled as to what kind of trouble he was expecting.

Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

Hilariously there are a lot of Two-Spirits that loving despise white Trans folks. Especially the Tumblrey ones that think being a man that occasionally wears a bikini top makes you Two-Spirit.

Same thing with the Samoan Fa'afafines that got pissed off when white gay folks tried to turn Samoa into San Francisco: Island Edition.
