      I’m pretty sure if a white person wears it, it might be taken as a more white power thing than a mocking thing. I think it would be hilarious to wear, but I don’t want to send the wrong message.

                  You made me rewatch that scene … as Indigenous people, my friends and I had used to howl in laughter whenever Indians appeared in the Simpsons … I know those voices are stereotypical and non-PC any more … but whenever I get together with close friends, I always put on that voice and talk about ‘the land’, ‘the birds’ and ‘the ways of our ancestors’ with terrible English just for laughs … thanks for reminding of all this

        That’s the point. It highlights how the lack of hundreds of years of oppression and murder matter to how things are interpreted.

          Assuming just because I’m white my ancestors haven’t experienced the same. Dude, read a book.

            Yes, you can see the ongoing oppression by all the white people stuck in reservations.

              Okay, well I’m Jewish and my grand parents survived camps. But I’m a white Jew so who gives a shit

              And yes obviously, because I know someone will pretend like I was trying to argue which bad was more bad, native Americans did and do deserve better treatment
