It seems it took an Indian chick to spot the racism.

Our disease has infected Australia now, Kemo Sabe?

This has gotta stop.

Hoooeee, hoooeee, yip yip yip!

Liberal squaws have panties in heap big twist.

A bunch of fat US women acting like drunken fools

[Nifster]

Not really. If you go to the article even classless you might be offended.

For the record your comment is crass

Now who else’s panties are in a twist?

[raybbr]

I thought it was funny.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Of course the headdresses are culturally insensitive. Those ultra-rich should be celebrating in an appropriate non-offensive style like this team is doing...

That boat was built in the state of Maine by Hodgeh Yachts. A fine company.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

So what was the point of the Indian headdresses anyway? Because of the yacht being named Comanche? I’m not an expert on these things, but I thought the full feathered headdresses as shown in the article were a Sioux thing, and I’m not aware that the Comanche ever wore such. If I am wrong, I’m certain that someone will correct me.

If a white American woman can be Black, and a white American man be a woman, why can’t a white Australian woman be Native American??

[HartleyMBaldwin]

If either of those things were true, then no reason at all why not. Since neither is true, that’s why not.

In any case, there was no indication in the article that Ms. Hinze-Clarke was claiming to be Native American.

If a white American woman can be Black, and a white American man be a woman, why can't a white Australian woman be Native American??

[vetvetdoug]

I'd bet the Comanches just South of Lawton don't give a damn if this woman wants to emulate their people. Quanah Parker probably would have been proud.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Thanks. I was sure someone around here would know.

[marron]

Its all about self-righteousness as a cover for never doing anything with your life. That, and manipulating guilt to rob someone of their merit. No one should ever be proud of their accomplishments without permission from people who never accomplished anything.

Racism is a handy hammer used by people for all occasions. No one ever notices that it is the people throwing the accusations who are race obsessed, not necessarily the people they are accusing.

[Graybeard58]

kaboom must be a philatelist.

How dare you. Whatever I do in my own house is my business. I just love the taste of the glue.
