Indians can’t handle the firewater. Why not? Uhhhh…because of White racism! Yeah! Those evil White people force the Indians to drink liquor! Yeah! By the way, when are we Whites going to pay the Indians reparations money? After all, it was quite mean of us to give the Indians the telephone, the automobile, the bicycle, electricity, the computer, the airplane, the TV set, horses, the air conditioner, the furnace, the radio/stereo, the lightbulb, the camera, the wheelbarrow, the telescope, the clock, the wristwatch, the refrigerator, concrete, surveying equipment, the printing press, marine/sea navigation tools, democracy, etc. How dare we civilize them! The very nerve! (The Spanish conquistadors introduced domesticated horses to North America circa 1500, some of which escaped and ended up in the Midwest, e.g., in Nebraska, Kansas, etc. An Indian probably saw a White guy riding a horse circa 1600 and said to himself, “why I walk, when I could ride one of those???”).
