kool aid commercial

[@armorybrunotjr.1791]

The talking pitcher in that Kool-Aid spot is none other than Thurl Ravenscroft, best known as the voice of Tony the Tiger, and the singer of that funny holiday song, "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" from the popular 1966 holiday special, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".

i don't see what's so bad about this. the native characters here aren't being portrayed as savages or evil, in fact the story at the beginning quite literally implies that the cavalry were the ones who started the conflict, and seems to commend the colonel for ending it using kool aid

[@StopRequested]

I'm white, so take what I'm saying here with a grain of salt, but what's offensive about this commercial isn't necessarily that Native Americans are being portrayed in stereotypical outfits (though this can be harmful if it causes people to assume that all Native Americans look like that, since it erases the identities of those who don't), but rather that they are being shown as excessively violent. To claim that one race of people is inherently more violent than another is, well, racist.

[@MooPotPie]

To claim that the human species is comprised of multiple "races" is, well, racist.

[@hoos_ur_daddy]

Go look up the American Indian Wars…both sides were very violent. Also look up the Comanche tribe. They conquered most of what is known today as New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Kansas. They did so with brutality and violence. It was a way of life for them. Whenever they invaded any tribe, males old enough to fight were never spared even if they surrendered. They sexually assaulted, tortured, and murdered the women and took the children captive as slaves.
