    I’m surprised more Native Americans aren’t up in arms.

    (/s because most people don’t get sarcasm)

          That’s the kind of mentality that leads to misunderstandings. You cannot translate tone through a written medium, that’s why emojis and the /s even exist in the first place

              Yes, ofc about your joke and don’t really have an opinion on it, but I am absolutely of the opinion that sarcasm is not compatible with text. What makes sense to you on writing is primed to be readan entirely different way by someone else based on their texting habits and even their current mood, that’s why I think the /s is necessary

      It’s funny because “Red Indians” was used by colonial settlers to describe a broad range of people and tribes conquered and subsequently had their culture and families completely demolished by the invading forces. And we still refer to them as “Indians” in education and literature regardless of their preferred preferences!
