Yeah, Cody's cool.

Not Pete.

Cody should run for President. Or maybe work at Vice. How about both?

Lucem Ferre 02-07-2020 03:52 PM

No to both.

Are those cultures devoid of merit despite the millions that suffered?

If you want something practical out of this, I'd recommend appreciating the fact that if diversity didn't matter in America, you wouldn't have multi-billion dollar companies and organizations pushing messages about toxic masculinity, the "evils of white nationalism", lots of imagery of mixed race couples, etc. into the mainstream or making Colin Kaepernick the face of an ad campaign that spent millions upon millions to reach a lot of people. Going by all that, I'd say diversity and the desire to perpetuate it is alive and well.

You totally forgot how the American Indians battled with and killed off the race of giants that live on the continent before they arrived.

Anytime I hear the word Aztec the first thing that comes to mind is a ****ty Mexican gang tattoo

It's cool how all the people who care about the Native Americans lump them into one group as if they didn't vary widely from tribe to tribe.
