You are so not wrong. Ten years ago I took a Native American (injun) course in popular state university in the south. We were watching Dancing with Wolves, and during one of the scenes the professor was talking about how injuns were peaceful and America was the one to always be on the offensive. I brought up the many injun wars that occurred, the slavery, the attacks by red skins on peaceful settlements, and a card carrying native decided to argue with me, saying her people were peaceful. Long story short, I was able to show that native americans have in fact been violent and war like. The card carrying injun dropped the class, no idea why but I'm guessing due to that interaction. No one clapped at the interaction, and I'm sure I was a dick, but I couldn't let them pass off the victim mentality that white colonists are pure evil and natives are innocent and never hostile. And for you faggots out there getting pissy, I'm not white, so fuck you.
