I have a lot of trouble feeling any amount of empathy for Brazilian natives after seeing How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman (1971)

You know that's not a documentary right?

Regardless of whether the story is accurate or not the savagery of American native tribes is well-documented. Tribal warfare and cannibalism is commonplace.

Well, I didn't expect blatant racisim in HN comments, but there it is. Based on ignorance no less. Can we ban people like this? /serious

I am all for free speech, but excusing murder based on race is where I may have to draw the fucking line. Feel free to post this on a board relevant to your hopefuly unique interests.

I did not realize this was considered racism. I never excused anything. Is it true or false that native Americans took part in murderous rituals? It is very unfair to label my post racist. I am certainly not name-calling. The entire argument you presented in response was an ad hominem attack on me instead of refuting anything I mentioned. I am saddened that you are incapable of understanding my point. Please address the specific point I made earlier. Thank you.
