It's one of the many contributing factors that cause right-wing conservatives to look at Native American faces and then tell them to go back to Mexico. They were replaced by Europeans in their mind. Just like Jesus.

That's Fredophobia right there.

Even though the ad campaign was bought and paid for by the plastics industry that wanted to preemptively shift the moral responsibility of cleaning up their shit to the regular joe so that they wouldn't have to foot the bill and could happily keep pumping out cheap plastic bags and bottles that now clutter the oceans as vast floating islands of semi-toxic flotsam?

It’s time to touch grass.

His adopted children helped him get into a tribe.

It used to be a sheep and cattle station called Thurloo Downs they bought from a farmer called Peter Hughes. I believe he owns the largest privately owned Wagyu cattle business in the world.

He was an atrocity to Natives, but he had his heart in the right place I guess, the one we need to cancel is John Wayne, he hated Natives and Blacks so damn much.

And a pro wrestler!

Yeah, crying Sicilian-American pretend Native-American ad.

Or the right to make some money when you let people use it again. Your choice.

Positive compared to his contemporaries, at least

He was born in Louisiana. His parents were Italian immigrants.

The crying Indian in the famous "Keep America Beautiful" public service announcement from the 1970s was actually an Italian-American actor named Iron Eyes Cody, whose birth name was Espera Oscar de Corti. Despite his Italian ancestry, he portrayed a Native American in many films and commercials throughout his career and was known for his advocacy for Native American causes.

NOFX is awesome! Nice reference.

Psst, I got your joke and was uplifted until The Decline

I don't understand why senator Warren's distant cousin is causing such a fuss

*cries in Italian. 🤌

It's still normal in many countries.

I'm should probably just read the article bc im confused how you can take the rights from a commercial lol

Isn’t he the guy from “Ernest goes to Camp”?!

Sounds familiar.

I think giving actual Native Americans the rights to ads featuring one of the most famous Pretendians is sorta good news. The ads were tokenizing bullshit that shifted blame for corporations to individuals - but hey... small positives make this group function I guess.

however - the fact that a pretendian got more roles and prestige than actual indigenous actors is not uplifting. but I'm native so what do I know.

Crying Italian you mean...

I know this is what he wanted but damn this still makes me so sad.
