Native Americans should run their traditions and practices by you, from now on.

That was not what I was saying and you know it. Strangely enough when searching for the ancestry of the surname, it came up with a Welsh origin!?
But my point is i don't like violence and it's a violent surname, that's all I meant.

An insanely reductive viewpoint given the circumstances

"I don't like violence" is wildly simplistic, violence isn't inherently bad or good. For example domestic violence is bad, but defending your homeland is good. Punching a stranger is bad, punching a stranger who tries to assault your wife is good.

Alright then i understand, thank you for the explanation. English is not my native language and sometimes the sentiment of the sentence gets lost with me. I agree with what you're saying.

No worries English is largely a bullshit language that we're all trying to figure out
