I never said that you were aiming your post at me. I am just tired of hearing descendants of indians complain about how whites 100+ years ago treated them so unfairly. It's kind of like the germans feel about the holocaust: How many guilt trips must we be put on, how many times do we have to apologize? The long and the short of it is, I am sick of hearing indian this indian that waaa waaa waaa! Look how many people rallied to your support after you criticized me for my response. You say you just wanted to show it from a different perspective, but the "poor picked on indians and evil heartless eurocentric white man" perspective is the one which is always crammed down our collective throats. I am sure you will all flame me for this because I dare to not simper and grovel at the word indian. And you will all say I have no sense of humor etc based on a few paragraphs you read posted by a person whom you never met. Flame on.
