It's not offensive, though, unless you are trying to be offended.
The reservation system is a broken acknowledgement that the US stole land from all of those tribal groups, but the purpose of a reservation is to set land aside, to reserve it for those tribal groups, to say the government cannot go any further.
There's much better things to be offended by. Nobody is offended by hotel reservations.
- grzm 9y agoThat's a much better and more respectful explanation I think of your position than calling someone's opinion silly or goofy. I'd have a hard time unpacking your second comment from your first. Particularly on difficult topics, if you think someone's giving something too little thought, err on the side of giving it more thought rather than something shorter. I sympathize with a desire to be concise and pithy, but it can so easily be read in more ways other than it's intended. There's just less info there: fewer error correction bits, so to speak.
