As a non-immigrant,..."Non-Immigrant ..."<br /><br />As a non-immigrant, that makes you a member of a group that includes 87.5% of Americans. Welcome to the club. It's a large one.<br /><br />"When you come from a bastard culture..."<br /><br />Well, so much for multi-culturalism. Looks like we have another culture-warrior here. This cultural hatred stuff looks bad coming from others as it does from right-wing "culture warriors". And yes, I usually do here this type of hatred and insult for entire cultures from right-wing bigots. But... not always...<br /><br />"...and use of American Indian symbolism and ceremony's witnessed and interpreted through anglo-eyes..."<br /><br />Facts get in the way of this bigoted and perhaps racist bashing of an "inferior" bastard culture when you look at the cultures around the world, even including East Asians, who know and use Native American stereotypes. <br /><br />"Everything in American culture was adopted from something and somewhere else;"<br /><br />So, what is your point? The same is true of all cultures in the world, including Native American cultures.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-57072327806671004162010-05-29T16:42:23.200-07:002010-05-29T16:42:23.200-07:00When you come from a bastard culture, you have to ...When you come from a bastard culture, you have to invent yourself and your culture. You take a little of this and a little of that and stir it all together, may be say a couple of moronic chants and "presto", it looks real. <br /><br />Everything in American culture was adopted from something and somewhere else; from the advent of the fraternal masonics and the college "greek" systems to the adoption and use of American Indian symbolism and ceremony's witnessed and interpreted through anglo-eyes has evolved into such a ridiculous and meaningless half-witted and white-supremist by-product called American.<br /><br />All non-indigenous Americans can trace their bloodlines; traditions and families from all over the globe, but replacing a foreign legitimacy with a "plastic" culture is a 200 year old dilemma non-Indians can only deal with by refusing their foreign roots.<br /><br />When Ghandi successfully forced the British Empire out of India, telling them that the only way the British can rule in India is by the humiliation and oppression of the Indian people, one British officer simply replied to him in a calm and sincere manner that when all is said and done, "India is after all, British".Non-Immigrantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-22633948318733072982010-05-27T16:01:37.906-07:002010-05-27T16:01:37.906-07:00It's amazing that most of that, Indians didn&#...It's amazing that most of that, Indians didn't have. The corn stuff, carpets, and soap, yeah. I'll allow pizza only on the grounds of tomato and bell peppers.<br /><br />Americans know Sun Dances too, but they always get them wrong. They're closer to a fertility ceremony and less a test of manhood.<br /><br />Speaking of which, the "symbol of our manhood" always takes me right back to psych class, reading about Freud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
