Reply to comment by boomstickbutcher in TIL the US federal government captures and sells excess wild horses to the public by MoistCoyote
Horses were only introduced into the North American landmass in the late 1400s
They were not widely distribured until the mid 1600s
My university college has older 'cultural traditions' than that

Like I said, one of many of our cultural traditions. I never said it’s an old tradition you cunt.

And I never said it wasn't a tradition, just not an old one, you illiterate cunt

I read your stupid little words and understood the point you attempted to make with them. You are a racist, and a twat, enough said.

Well, you're the one who ultimately said it's not an old tradition, which was my original point, so I'm delighted to accept that and move on

Your use of quotation marks around the words cultural tradition says it all. It’s some dismissive and passive aggressive white guy thing to do that disregards others cultural practices. It’s like using finger quotes sarcastically to dismiss someone or something. It’s petty, and little. One thing you will learn about indigenous people if you ever spent the time, would be that indigenous cultures are highly adaptive, we wouldn’t survive if we weren’t. Unlike many of you European cultures that are static and unchanging for a thousand years.

If that's how it came across, dismissive of the peoples themselves, as opposed to calling something depending upon an animal introduced only 400 years ago not culturally traditional, then I am in the wrong for using those quotes, and I accept that I have offended those who saw it as dismissive of them. And I apologise for that
