The headline is really misleading because a lieutenant and a lieutenant general are about as far apart as you can get.

Most Japanese don’t even know what whitewashing *is.* It’s a virulently American offended-on-behalf-of-other-people phenomenon.

Even tho I love FFT (it’s one of my favorite games), FFXII wasn’t for me (and I tried). The last passable one had to be FFX (shitty story, passable gameplay, good graphics).

I bought RE6 day 1 and it was trash. I do like like what I see from RE7 so thats one lost sale.

That’s my secret. I am always thinking about Snacktaku.

Only on Deadspin will you see writers making fun of Tim Tebow for hitting a game-winning single in a professional league while, at the same time, writing 10,000-word columns lauding a Pakistani team as heroes for getting the shit kicked out of them by such baseball powerhouses as Brazil and Great Britain in the World…

And to think I left this game early....

I’m a bit late but THIS. I’m a member of the Colville Confederated Tribes, and we’re just a bunch of disparate groups mashed onto a rez in eastern Washington. My people are “Lakes Band” and our ancestral home is in Canada and most of us have never been there and the Canadian government is not cool about the whole deal

So this guy was attempting to pass your car, so you sped up to prevent him from passing you, forcing him to make the dramatic maneuver so he can make his turn. Then you get out of your car to confront him while he is in a car with his family?

I’ve talked with a number of different activists, and “American Indian” has never been truly seen as offensive by any of them —though it’s non-specific and denies the complexity of tribal/national identity, in the same way “Hispanic” flattens complexities of South America.

Hello my Indian friend!

I am a native, and it’s my preferred term. My ancestors were not “Native Americans.” They weren’t Americans at all. They were Cherokee. My grandfather, and his, and his, identified as Indians in English. Who are you to tell me, or them, what my “preferred term” is, or what we “are not and never have been?” A white kid…

There are actually quite a large number of American Indians who prefer the term American Indian, misnomer though it may be. As early as twenty years ago, a strong plurality preferred American Indian, and a few prominent Indian activists (foremost among them Russell Means) came out against the term Native American as…

I don’t disagree with your sentiment, but an an Indian, I can tell you that for a lot of people Indian IS a preferred term. It’s definitely a reclamation thing, but it’s widely used, often seen as “NDN.” Maybe watch out when trying to speak on behalf of a group of which you’re not a member.

There is a big fucking difference between calling a Native American an “Indian” or “American Indian” versus using a tragedy in their history as a slogan for a high school football game.

Actually, there are many Native Americans that are fine with and even prefer the term Indian. It’s not nearly as cut-and-dried as you describe.

It is actually preferred by many- some prefer Native American, some prefer American Indian, and most prefer their tribe’s actual name.
