but then again, us native americans are "uncivilized"

took my son to our state fair years ago. he wanted to go on the ferris wheel, so we got in line..minding our own business...a man in front of us with his daughter, turns around and says " que pasa amigo?" I just looked him in the eye and politely told him "my son and I are native americans" the look on his face was priceless.
