Thanks carpo, I was skipping the chaos-mails today, so I'd have missed  
this fine example of learnedness, of being well-informed, of anti-racism -  
err, anything else I forgot to mention?

Well, carp, I hate to contradict, but to the above remark please add the  
one in the other mail where he talks about Sitting Bull trying to avoid  
arrest and rather slaughtering some soldiers - sorry, but a box of rocks  
would be accepted into Mensa Club compared to this dumbshit.

Native ancestors, my arse!
I don't really dare to inquire further - he most certainly will present us  
with a "Cherokee princess" as his great-great-great-grandmother: a safe  
six generations in the past and only dug up to nourish the line of "some  
of my best friends are...".

Actually that bit about the Sioux getting eliminated may be a Freudian  
slip admitting the number of Natives killed was a little higher than your  
usual Glorious Westerner would like to confess: there's about 100,000 of  
them now, so if this is "elimination", this tells us something about the  
original number of people...
