No, its' not the use of the word "Indian" - it goes much further than that - there was actually one person who had the nerve to post that "Pretty soon, we will be facing in this nation, the same thing Israel is facing with the palastinians" - basically stating that indians are going to become suicide bombers and terrorists etc, and no one - NOONE thought it out of line...
If that isn't hatred and ignorance, I don't know what is. Is my view of Indians the only valid one? Of course not, but I do know ignorance and hatred when I see it.

If dip sticks are making those kind of comments hit the abuse button and get them removed. Look, idiots attack everyone like that. Very few support that kind of logic here.
I voted for Indian gaming because I wanted to see their communities do better financially. I think it has helped. I do get more than a little miffed when I see loads of it spread around helping the likes of Bustamante though.
Strangely enough, Bustamante's buddies do refer to California as a land just like the West Bank though. They compare themselves to the Palestinians. That shouldn't make you feel too comfortable.
This may be the spark that produce the comments you spoke of. I still think they were inappropriate. Somebody probably got worked up and spouted off.

NO ONE thought it out of line...I did.
