Not when it comes to Native Americans though.
Considering that this is a national newspaper meant for locals, I don't think other culture's baggage should necessarily be taken in consideration.
You do you, it's just in poor taste. It's not the end of the world or anything, it's just funny to me that it's the same thing "boorish Americans" get flack for.
Personally, if I think about reversed roles (I.e. some US newspaper putting an Italian gangster hat - a-la The Godfather to some politician with some offer-related pun) I wouldn't think of it as racist, I would understand it's not a statement about Italians in general. This also considering that being a gangster of course has plenty of negative connotations.
The whole thing feels to me like the attitude that is made fun on in Parks and Recreation and the Wamapoke. But anyway, the newspaper is shit and to be honest I find the substance of the article way worse than the image.
I mean you're spot on, it's really not the end of the world, and you're correct on the parks and rec.
I think people get prickly because of what you mentioned about the substance of the article probably being way worse, everyone's just primed these days lol. We're kind of sorting some shit out over here...
Anyway thanks for the conversation, it's always fun to see your own culture through someone else's eyes.
