"...A comment from Linde Knighton on Facebook:<br /><br />"White Lightning" was made by mostly White Mountaineers, and so the stereotype is not only offensive to Indians, but also slights the real producers of the product. Send them a corrected one, with a real white mountaineer, not a cartoon.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-16195876487052358852010-02-25T11:31:04.510-08:002010-02-25T11:31:04.510-08:00I gotta give members of the American Indian Moveme...I gotta give members of the American Indian Movement of Santa Barbara and elsewhere some credit for at least taking action and addressing the issue.

Controversy only drives the value. Not that anyone who actually bought the shirt will have half a brain cell in order to follow this line of thinking. So, is this fodder for the "stereotype of the month" club? I do believe it's up there close to giving away children's toys with Happy Meals that are likened to the visage of General Custer.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175013069319268091noreply@blogger.com
