Idiots

Only superceded by the idiots who listen to this nonsense, and then cower
under the braying of whiny little bitches.

Whitey bad.

More money.

That's the FN way.

[jj2424]

You have got to be fucking kidding!

FN are fucked in the head.

FN= the right to bitch about everything and expect a pay out from whitey.

I love it when morons presume to speak for other people.

$1:

“It’s basically an outsider selling an outsider culture to other outsiders without really reflecting on that process,” said Adam Gaudry, an assistant professor of native studies at the university.

Yet in contrast,

$1:

Jonathan Kay Kamakawiwoole Osorio, a professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii, agreed there are always concerns about the appropriation of cultural icons, but he said the images were not terribly offensive.

“What the students were actually appropriating was not so much native as it was tourist,” he said.

“As far as this particular image is concerned, I doubt that many Kanaka Maoli [native Hawaiian] voices would be raised in protest for a bunch of students in a very cold place who are trying to imagine being in a warmer place.’’

Hmmm, guess I'll get all offended next time I see someone who isn't White partying on St. Patty's days. And if they're taking part in the wearin' o' the green, ohhh boy, I'm gonna file a formal complaint with the CHRC.
Btw, I'm NOT Irish, but I'll make sure I speak up on their behalf, whether they say anything or not, because I think I have that right.

Cue the outrage over the outrage

[Freakinoldguy]

Only in Canada. The land of politically correct.

Why aren't these assholes from Idle No More and their white apologist bitches trying to fix things like the Native leadership issues, the seemingly endless corruption on the reserves and it's denigration of their own people instead of forcing their warped and twisted views on anybody and anything that doesn't line up with their extremely limited version of reality?

[ShepherdsDog]

Because it`s easier to blame someone else for all their problems, rather than look in the mirror and see their biggest enemy. If they never try, then they never fail and they can continue on with their tired old line....it`s whitey`s fault

Like the man says; "Crybaby!"

[FieryVulpine]

Hm. Methinks they are the ones appropriating indigenous Hawaiian culture by presuming to speak for them.

Well, given that indigenous Hawaiians are Polynesian and indigenous Canadians come from Asia, the two groups have very little (if anything) in common culturally and historically. It appears that Idle No More is taking a paternalizing and colonial attitude towards indigenous Hawaiians. Ooh, irony.

Idle-some-more..............

[BartSimpson]

Adam Gaudry just became the focus of my energies for the upcoming three-day weekend.

I actually agree with you here. However I do see this as much ado about nothing, except a forum to bitch about Natives.
I checked the local news (CTV, GLOBAL, CBC and some radio stations) and they are so far mute on it. I just think it's funny that there is so much outrage over the outrage of Adam Gaudry, just one man. If I was the US Student Union and I heard about this my first move would be to get on the computer and find the University of Hawaii Student Union and talk to them. Get a contact with some native Hawaiian Student group and discuss it with them. When all the laughter was over I bet they could use the UH Student Union name on their posters, along with the WASP chick in the grass skirt.

And one last thing. In the Post headline the Student Union was forced to "abandon" their fundraiser when in fact they changed its name. Two different things. It's stupid to have to have to change the name.
