Do I really have to explain...yeah, probably. G-Con made a comment about slaughtering them. I came back with a setup (no, you're way off base) that most people would automatically think was being confrontational and referring to his "slaughter" comment. Then, I caught the reader totally off guard but turning it into a comment about the PC-ness of not referring to them as "Indians". Are you starting to get it yet? It was hilarious.
BTW, don't talk to me about being knowledgeable when it comes to indiginous peoples - I have two sisters (also both adopted) who are Native American and they don't appreciate being called Indians. They aren't from India, you fucking retarded dipshit. |
Look I don't give a fuck about your family or the worthless guilt trip you attempted on me by pm. That was sad and pathetic.
I can't even believe you would actually bring your adopted sisters into this but now I understand at least why you are thoroughly ignorant about this topic.
First, it does NOT matter if it was a "joke". Do you know why? Because you are STILL sitting here arguing that your deceased alcoholic sister (which you admitted in pm) prefers to be called something that MOST Native Indians in fact DO NOT. She is part of the 15 fucking % who prefers to be called something else.
And great, in a therapy setting she would correct me and I'd use whatever term she was obviously more comfortable with.
However, you are forgetting the most important part here, your sisters are representative of a 2 person population which YOU are deriving your professional bullshit opinion from.
A 2 person population in research doesn't mean a single fucking thing, it has no "power", and like I already have said, Native Indians THEMSELVES, ready read this again, >>>>> THEMSELVES <<<<<
DO NOT prefer to be called "Native Americans".
How hard is this for you to understand?
This is like me saying "the majority of black people reported in the last 1995 consensus that they prefer to be called african-american". Then you're dipshit ass comes in here saying "we have 2 adopted baby black sisters, and they both prefer to be called the black".
That does NOT fucking mean you walk around the world calling all african-americans "black". You use african-american by default, and if you encounter those from the minority, you simply change it to w/e they prefer.
You are doing exactly what anyone in this world would do w/out a research background, and no you definitely do not know what you're talking about as you said in your pm. Its obvious you don't do this for a living and I do.
You should prob go have a conversation with your adopted sister now and ask her why 85% of "Native Americans", actually prefer to be called "Native Indians" OR just "Indian" and why you're walking around this world actually offending most Native Indians. As I said once before, "Indian" does NOT refer to 1 fucking group of people. It doesn't mean Indians from India so please fucking stop polluting the forums with that shit.
An Indian is either Hindu or Native Indian, your sister is an idiot (yes I disrespected her) for not realizing that when people call her Indian they are refering to Native Indian.
Now let me ask you this. Since you're using your sisters as grounds to justify your entire arguement, and I'm using an actual US national consensus (much more powerful in science I should mention Mr fake ass 'biologist') Did either of your sisters actually attend school?
They lived on a reservation right? And one of them died cause she was an alcoholic basically? Maybe if they went to school and learned something about indians, they'd learn the term indians is a much more general term then they think, and their belief about it refering to hindus is JUST AS bias as you belief that Native Indians like to called Native Americans, which they do not, they're already told us. Now please end this useless fucking debate, you OBVIOUSLY have no idea wtf you're talking about.. once again.
oh and funny "joke" you idiot. I really don't understand why its so hard for you to just admit your wrong.
All you have to say is "you know what Robby Rox you are right, I was wrong in assuming just because my sisters liked to be called Native Americans that most Native Americans actually prefer to be called Native Indians". But no, you would never do that, because your sensitive little girl ego won't let you.
