Talk:What Made the Red Man Red?/@comment-24935739-20150131013706

The "What Makes the Red Man Red?" song is not particularly racist. (Racism: Racism consists of both prejudice and discrimination based in social perceptions of biological differences between peoples. It often takes the form of social actions, practices or beliefs, or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities.) The song doesn't say anything about Native Americans being inferior, and it doesn't say that there's anything wrong with being "red". The only "racist" thing about it is saying Indians are red. That's as racist as saying a white person is white or a black person is black.
