• Is that funny? The racist sterotypes against native Americans is appaling. These people litrally suffered the largest loss in terms of genocide ever - and you're up here making jokes and insuinating that those few who survived after your crimes live the life of luxury. The reality is that the majority live in poverty that is 3rd world standard, earning under $2,500 a year, 90% unemployment, terrible alcholism and little to no help from your govt. They live in concentration camps (reservation), visit one and tell them what you put here.
  
  From the Puritans to Washington aka 'town destroyer' and beyond, they suffered at your hands. You insult them w/ team names, thanksgiving, and 'Indian chop' then even call the 'Indians'. Imagine the Germans playing Aryans vs Jews - that would be terrible, no? Only racists do that. Yet you play 'Cowboys and Indians' - where is you compassion? Show respect.

• well, whaen I said 'your crimes'- I wasn't refrring to you as a person. Maybe you'r American maybe not? That's a collective thing. Usually in US they openly disparage th NA and show no respect.
  
  I'm not against jokes or satire - on the contrary. Seemed to me the above was nothing of th sort. If you want to expose people's stupidity in the context of politics, I'm not stopping you. But what you wrote could easily be interpreted differently. I'll also say there's quite a few on here openly calling these people 'savages', making slurs towards Irish, and repeating other streotypes. NA w/casinos, no tax is highly exhaggerated & used for political & racist reasons. Canoes? That's just not fuuny. That's not what NA spend their time doing, and as for taxes that's not reality. What I wrote is reality for the majority left.
  
  Satire is fine even w/ Native Americans. But that's not easy to do. If you think I'm oversensitive, then maybe its because you're unaware of how much thy suffered and continue to- that's not anicent history.
  Here's a reference:
  
  ch 4 footnote 72 http://www.understandingpower.com/chap4.htm
  
  or this pg 120: http://books.google.com/books?id=RzFsODcGjfcC&dq=%22American+Holocaust:+The+Conquest+of+the+New+World%22+index&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=en&ei=ZISoSpulM8a9kAXM-diVBg&sa=X&oi=bo
  
  Most people might think 2x before saying the above in refernce to Jewish people, Armnians or African Americans, or Irish. You'll find satire is enjoyed by most when its clearly that. The NA literally sufferred genocide by the US. Whre's social resentment in that? When Germans start making comments about Jewish people, most get insulted. Would you say similar things about the other groups above?
