It's probably codenamed after Tulalip Bay in Washington state.
- redthrowaway 15y agoYup. The only thing I know about Tulalip is there's a casino there with a really annoying jingle they play on ads in Vancouver.
- kevin_morrill 15y agoAlso a pretty sleazy Indian casino.
- pedalpete 15y agocan we just call it a sleazy casino, and not let prejudice creep in because it's on native land.
- pbhjpbhj 15y agoFlying total OT here but how is it prejudice to describe the place that way? "sleazy Indian casino" is obviously a personal opinion of an Indian casino; why does he have to give less information simply because he dislikes the casino? If I say "sleazy American diner" is that prejudice too?
- goatforce5 15y agoIt's "a sleazy Indian (operated) casino" vs. "sleazy American (cuisine) diner". The first is referencing the ethnicity of the casino's operators, the second is referencing the style of the diner and doesn't infer anything about the ethnicity of the owners.
- pbhjpbhj 15y agoI see the sibling says "Indian" could be considered wrong. However, again, with you post why is it wrong to say their ethnicity? Incidentally I was plugging for American as being an indicator of ethnicity; there's also a subset issue so for "sleazy American diner" read "sleazy Greek bar" (a bar in Greece, though it could be a bar run by a Greek I guess it doesn't seem to matter).
- allwein 15y agoI think he's playing off the fact that some people consider the term "Indian" pejorative for Native Americans.
