Since when did one's ethnicity mean you had to be expert at everything in that society? It's the 24th century for fuck's sake. How many of them, d'you think could fly fish, imitate barn owls or woodpeckers to fool the authentic bird, run a red light without causing a pile-up or get served at a 6 deep bar 2 minutes before the bell?
They are all pathetic and can't do anything thanks to replicators, holodecks, transporters and too much evolved humanity for their own good.
Sure, but it keeps turning out like a buggered up slinky.
Rob claimed off camera that Chakotay was a native South American Indian, which is not to be confused with all the Spaniards who claim that they're natives.
But then if he is a member of the "Rubber tree people" Tribe, which he is, that makes a lot of sense.
Where in North America do you find a quantity of Rubber trees?
No bloody where.
Rubber Trees are tropical.
I think there were some visuals which would point them to South America but I don't recall what (other then the definitely not North American foliage). Which makes the rubbing together with two sticks thing even more dumb as that is not a South American stereotype. I think it ended up a grab bag of cliches to which the word indian was attached.
You remember Cortez? I didn't say that South American Indians ain't Indians, I said that the conquistadors who got off the boat from Spain 500 years ago to rape and pillage south America are not Indians nor are their descendants as indigenous as they claim they are after ONLY 500 years.
Dear god woman can you read?
THE SPANISH!
FROM SPAIN!
That's the only people I said weren't Indians.
Because they're Spanish.
FROM SPAIN!
nor are their descendants as indigenous as they claim they are after ONLY 500 years
