    this dunny is a bit racist…i mean red skin really?
    im cool with a little racist humor…but watch ya back KR
    Unless Michelle Valigura is Native American, than people (indians – the feather kind) may be offended.

      this post is a bit racist…i mean feather kind really?
      i'm not cool with any racist humor…and i don't see anything wrong with this
      I don't know about Michelle Valigura but I am American Indian (but that doesn't matter), and I am not offended. Also, why would Michelle's heritage make it any more or less acceptable?

        lol yea ur right hungry…it was meant to be ironic
        im guessing i dont have to spell out why
        And to answer your question, it really shouldn't make a difference. However, it seems that when a person of a certain ethnic group pokes fun or uses racist terms towards their own group, it is thought of as acceptable. Like when black people use the "N-word" (i hate that expression) it is ok. But not when others use it.

        Glad we cleared that up buddy.

          read her bio about the inspiration and she just thinks its funny to be conjoined enemies. not to be taken to seriously.

      Racist? Really? God are we getting too sensitive.

      There was some noise about this on the KR boards about this being "offensive" – not so much the depiction of the Native American as it was being conjoined with a cowboy. Except that was silly as well, as "cowboys" were primarily ranch-hands. Laborers. Not some organized "injun hit squad". The US Army (of the time) – and other Native Americans – were the true battlefield enemy of the Native American.

      We need to lighten up. These are just two iconic / classic American symbols that have been done a million times over, in a number of different ways.

      (And if this was "racist", the heritage of the creator shouldn't really be the determining factor as to whether or not the work is racist.)
