I knew that my great-grandfather shot buffalo for George Armstrong Custer as a white scout, so I guess that makes him, and me, a babyshooting racist genocide by association, right? After all, we all saw Little Big Man, and have you ever heard Dustin Hoffman lie about anything?

He also knew Bill Hickock and Kit Carson personally, so now the picture gets really complicated.
