well, like most children, i thought that all indians danced around fires and yelled like savages. i grew up finding this stereotype so hilarious that i jokingly made fun of indians a lot. since finding out a year or two ago that i have indian blood myself, i've made fun of them even more as a means of keeping in touch with my heritage.

Just want to post a funny line I heard from, Married With Children. Kelly Bundy said that, "Everyone says that blondes are dumb, but that's really just a stereo system."
