The fortune cookie line is one of my favorites in the whole show.

I grew up in the 80s and early 90s. I was vehemently taught to never say Indian. It wasn't until I started watching Longmire and googled around that I realized it's not as offensive a label as I was led to believe. Finding that so many aren't offended by it has made me rethink a lot of the changes that have been happening in the past few decades like changing sport team names and removing or changing branding and marketing logos.

I’m Algonquin and it’s my opinion that no matter a person’s ethnicity or background, they’re allowed to have an opinion on this sort of thing. I agree with you that the word “Indian” is outdated, and some people consider it offensive. But a lot of Indigenous people call themselves Indian with pride, including most people where I’m from. In my experience, it’s typically young/naive/emotional people (“Karens”) who get offended on behalf of these people, and try to take away the language Indigenous people have been using for a long time. Every native person I know refers to themselves as Indian, and so does my family. Sometimes it’s Indigenous, sometimes Native, sometimes they’ll say their actual tribe/band. But most people I meet don’t have a problem with Indian. They don’t see it as “internalized racism” or whatever the woke mob try to paint it as. Anyway, I think everyone should get an opinion, regardless of race. You’re allowed to speak your mind. Great reaction as always!
