Reply to comment by osasuna in Onestone by le_bouffon

The joke is incredibly stupid and nonsensical for numerous reasons. That’s definitely one of them. Like there’s some goofy explanation for why he’s named Onestone and zero explanation why there’s women named “Bird.” Other than being “Indian.”

Which is almost racist. I originally read this as “Indian” meaning from India.

i really dont think its racist, those are realistic names and theyre not degrading. i still think the joke couldve been better lol. i also thought india indian too tho, shoulda said native americans just for claritys sake. or used the word tribe early on at the very least

almost racist. While native Americans do willingly accept the term Indian, in context, it makes sense to say “native American.” I wouldn’t say I’m dumb, but it took me a minute to get it was Indian meaning Native American and not someone from India.

I mean I wouldn’t say you’re smart if you couldn’t figure out that they meant Native American from the context immediately lmao
