I love Raskolnikov;
[…] In that broadcast, White Bird made the statement that he faces racism everyday, in fact, on his way in, a security guard called him “Chief” and told him he could walk by the security check.
Then he fell silent, allowing this to settle in.
See, calling an Indian “chief” is stereotyping and racist.
Even when the person being called it is the “Grand Chief” of the Manitoba Assembly of First Nations.
Political Correctness at it’s best/worst.
So what should we call him? the Big Kahuana? No..that would insult Hawawiians. The Boss? Naw,confusing Chretian. Ahhhhh…the N.S. supreme court says Kemo Sabe is NOT racist. Kemo Sabe it is. Don’t we have anything better to worry about??
Ugh!
That’s his chief complaint, is it? 😉
I can understand the Big Pimpin Indians confusion.
It’s hard to tell the good racism (8 billion dollars every year for eternity) from the bad racism like nicknames which keeps us locked into the good racism, or was that the bad racism
See what I mean
Aaaaannnyyyyyyway It’s good to be the Chief!
