We lived in the Denver area when my son was young. After his childcare Halloween party we went to dinner. He was still in Indian costume with warpaint on his face (he was 2). He went around the corner of the restaurant before I could catch him and there were several Indians playing pool. In my politically correct previous life I apologized to the young men and told them he really, really wanted to go to the party as an Indian. They weren’t offended in the least! They actually invited him to be a member of their tribe! Political correctness has ruined our whimsical American spirit. No surprise that oppressive Governments have no happiness in them. We are quickly going that way.
Exactly. When people can no longer laugh, anger creeps in.
I have talked with Bennett at a family gathering and we discussed this among much else. He said it wasn't the Indians (his term, and most American Indians I know prefer it to PC--) who are the ones offended so much as those who make a living being offended for people who aren't.
Interesting fellow who has done some nice work.
