“Extremely racist” seemed odd to me too after watching it? Maybe outdated? It didn’t seem like the characters were interacting with the Native Americans in a racist way? They participated in their cultural traditions and seemed to have a fun time doing it?
- zozbot234 5y ago> They participated in their cultural traditions and seemed to have a fun time doing it? That might well be the problem. Some people will regard that as "cultural appropriation" regardless of the surrounding circumstances. That is, even if the "appropriated" subculture is totally okay with the practice, it's still considered wrong - apparently, the new standard is other cultures must always live totally isolated from the "dominator" culture, as if in a zoo or under a viewing glass, for the sake of hipster-like "authenticity".
- edaemon 5y agoThe characters aren't participating in the cultural traditions of Native Americans, they're interacting with and participating in a pretty ridiculous stereotype of Native Americans.
