Politics Wokism/Woke/World gone crazy

"Tribal citizens"? Is that new-speak for Native American because native American is a colonial term?

Yes, it seems "Native Americans" or "Indian Americans" isn't the correct term anymore.

In itself, the term may/might be fine in the sense it makes things clear as to who it is referring to.

But at the same time it conveys a weird sub-sense to it, something that hints toward the "noble-savage" concept.
Which is extremely disrespectful and condescending. But put within the context of what Pete is saying... it fits pretty well: "these poor folks are just too dumb to cross the road".

Thank you for your support, comrades. Now please face the wall.

It would be slightly less inaccurate though ...

"Native" Americans being just as native to the Americas as other Americans are. Just happened to migrate a little earlier.

woke? I dont know, its just stupid, but really it doesnt effect anybody.
more telling, is that you choose to focus on this relatively inane and insignificant story, when there are hundreds of other stories that are very significant, like the woke leftists abolishing standardized test scores because their attempts at 'equity' came up for naught.... and the ideology behind this, and the results are ACTUALY damaging to the country and to the generations of students that had to be part of the experiment.
so, whatever you were trying to prove, whatever comparison you were trying to make, its not the same, and its not comparable.

Well, one one side you have morons overly pushing the LGBT and racial issues on every friggin media ad nauseam, then you have 300 banned books from schools, and attempts on more than 1600. When I saw that "Maus" had been banned in some county in the USA...really some people don't have much to envy LGBTQwhatever activists.

Very little rationality on either side...stupidity fueling each other more than anything else.

‘A streak of extremism’: US book bans may increase in 2023

Despite key victories, books covering race and LGBTQ+ topics continue to attract bans in conservative states

lol

Gotta love the libtard's hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness regarding precedents they, themselves, set.

Such as:
-removing books from academic curriculum to "decolonize academia".
-rewritting books to fit "modern standards".
-removing books from library because the author was deemed as "racist", or the book dealt with "triggering topics", etc...
-renaming of buildings.
-removing of statues, monuments and pieces of art.

You allowed that kind of thing to happen because it pissed those you don't like.
