[QUOTE="Mark Craddock, post: 7739261, member: 6883885"] I am deeply aware of the decimation that Native Americans went through, however, I would hazard that nearly every ethnicity has histories that they are certain are filled with similar atrocities. Look at Australia's Aboriginal experience, how Native South and Central Americans fell to the Spanish, the history of the Polish, Rome's presence in England, the Jewish plight throughout recorded history, Japan's treatment of China, etc. I think we should be aware of history to avoid making the same mistakes. I am certain that Native Americans are rightfully distrustful of the U.S., personally though, I don't think that attitude is reinforced as much by "tropes" as it is by past and present living conditions. Some of us feel there is some kind of "Though Police" warning everyone not to utilize a foreign culture, except possibly to showcase it's positive traits. Every culture, every society has crime and dark points. Most of us play adventurers who, essentially, kill things and take their stuff. We are those culture dark points in many ways. IMO, these articles are looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist. If we are to believe social media right now, if you live in the U.S. you are either communist or fascist, which simply isn't true. [/QUOTE]
