I disagree. Poorly-researched work that relies largely on stereotypes is damaging. She clearly put zero research into it and pretended like all of North America was one unified Native culture instead of a wide and diverse population. It's like looking at a Korean person and being like hey ching chong ling long so how do you like anime and sushi? Are you Chinese? Because haha all Asians are the same.

Because haha all Native Americans are the same.

But she did that with basically the entire North American continent (from what I'm seeing above). So she also didn't take into account the fact that places like California, Utah, and Texas have vastly different cultures from one another.

So why should that be any different than anything else she did?

Well, I agree, those are pretty ignorant, too, but it's particularly nasty in the case of Native Americans because they experience a lot of stereotyping and discrimination all the time. I don't think anyone's going to be racist towards Californians.

*snort* Have you BEEN to Texas?

Or Utah?

that's not racism

I was being a bit facetious.

But it is most certainly prejudice. And it goes both ways.

nobody's gonna assume what random texans think of california's the absolute truth, though, unlike what popular authors say about native traditions & beliefs.

rme "goes both ways"

Yet Durmstrang, or "Generic Eastern Europe" gets a pass.

Let's be consistent here. If she's fine to roll up the hundreds of (historically oft-fighting) European people groups into three major education centres, then we can accept that population diversity is not being factored in here. And that's fine.

yup

(Anonymous) 2016-03-13 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
So how is that not implying something bad about the culture in question?
