showing are imaginary indians, the indians that they are imitating never existed. they don t exist today. it s at the expense of real indians that this is the popular the culture, the society at large really works to create this image of indians to define indians and it s something that s been going on for a very long time. i should say quickly that i don t think that this kind much i think that these acts are racist in nature, but i don t think that makes the people who engage in that conduct racist. i think we ve sort of all been victimized, we ve been bamboozled by the education system, by the culture into believing these things about indians and many indians believe these things as well. that s a youthful distinction. the distinction between casual racist acts, the representations that are racist are not necessarily inherent to the human beings who are doing them.
