      THAT is absolutely the same “point” I made when I first saw it?!!

      Ok, so, the person was bad to show, I guess, but now it’s an even better analogy to what the settlers did…

        I honestly don’t know why “it’s bad to show”. Like, if the person on the packet isn’t a white man, it’s bad.

        We had these growing up in Australia…

        Like, that I get now, but it’s worth pointing out no kid in Australia obviously even knew what a “redskin” was. Hell, I thought Comanches and Apaches were snakes because of the Huey Cobra.

        Wait a second… Oh my god, just realised a Blackhawk isn’t named after a hawk, this is also a native American peoples. Like the NHL team, duh. And that’s my wife’s second fav team because she thinks it’s a cool logo and “I’m glad they’re repping the native Americans.”

        See?

        Anyway, I strayed from my point. I really like seeing other cultures on stuff. Seems a shame to remove that stuff, kind of disingenuous or disrespectful. If there’s a dark history, no one’s researching that, they’re more interested in other things like buttering some toast and then deciding to put a documentary about native Americans on because of the cool image.
