Probably, people seem to be too busy being nationalist to be all that racist.

If something someone does offends me, personally, I'll raise a stink. If something I do offends someone else, I won't do it again. Those are my only real limits.

Thing is, when I hear Indians, I think people from India. I really don't care either way but it's less confusing.

[up][up][up] That's certainly interesting.

I find myself agreeing with Arha.

I suppose they didn't have a name for them collectively, huh?

Well, from their perspective, it's probably like how a Korean person would wish to be called a Korean instead of an asian or oriental or whatever. The group name is not incorrect, but being a little more specific would be appreciated.

I find that reasonable enough, though I doubt I could identify any given tribesman on sight. And I've only ever known one Cherokee man, any way.

I loved Clerks II.

I generally say "American Native" or "American Indian", though it's never actually come up.

Incidentally, according to Model UN, and thus UN, you shouldn't use the term "nation" do describe a country, as it specifically refers to peopless recognized by the UN, and since not all are, it can be a sore spot for some that you shouldn't press if you can avoid it.

Tibet and Kosovo off the top of my head, I know there are others. Palestine/Israel/that mess, too.

I don't really pay attention to the UN anymore.

Pretty much exactly those already mentioned, for starters.

so the UN is like the Bible?

I agree that nationalism is the prevalent demarcation of shinobi as seen through the rock and sand feud and the leaf and cloud disputes.

I dislike that there is a black history month as it implies "there's no racism in America look we have months/weeks/days devoted to X minority group." However! I think that trying to remove or ignore it now is worse considering America's "never forget 9/11 and/or never forget the Holocaust" while simultaneously making legislature to change "slavery" to "servitude."

Also, I love meat. Dig most fruit. Enjoy almost all cheese. Like few veggies. I just love food. I don't consider tofu food.

I have nothing to contribute to this conversation except... I find racist jokes hilarious.

Tofu doesn't have a goddamn taste. It's not food.
