  2. Notice the cultural appropration. Wearing clothes made of the white mans loom. Hair combed with the white mans comb. Among others.

    1. You mean like when black wimmins dye their hair blond? Just need a clarification on that...

    2. "White man's comb"? Seriously? If he used a comb made by whites, it was ONLY because it was cheaper to buy one than to actually make one. They knew about combs thousands of years ago. For that matter, they'd been raising cotton since long before white men showed up. /eyeroll

  3. Yeah . . . every time I hear about someone complaining about cultural appropriation I want to ask, "So, why are you wearing pants and using silverware?"

  5. This is literally the first "native American" man I've ever seen with facial hair. I've always wondered about those noble savages and how clean-shaven they all were. Indians don't grow beards?

    1. And just happens to have a lot of Siberian in his "white" heritage. He's as white as Genghis Khan was.
