Heartless Toddler Shamelessly Mocks And Appropriates The Culture Of Indigenous People Through Dance

WARNING: the following video may contain sensitive content, if you are a sensitive Canadian. Or just a sensitive person. Which I am. Viewer beware.

Sickening. I almost threw a “MUST NOT WATCH” on this due to how brutal that was. Where are the parents? Filming and laughing? Ha ha ha, forgive me for not encouraging the next generation of appropriators and hate-mongers. Today, he’s shuffling his feet and shaking his tail feathers at a cute little gathering in Alberta; tomorrow, he’s leading the tomahawk chop at FSU and Braves’ games.

The fuck? Are we watching the same baby? The indigenous dancers displayed an assortment of moves, a nuanced choreography that reflects hundreds of years of culture and tradition. Meanwhile, this little brat was a-town stomping and harlem shaking like he thought the grass was on fire. Look at this face:

That’s the face of a guy on a bachelor party who pulls his eyes tight when they run into a group of Asians because he’s a total asshole. A shit-eating grin of the highest order. This kid knows exactly what he’s doing and he’s proud of it. No remorse whatsoever. And it’s all fun and games when he’s mocking the indigenous people of Canada, but pretty soon he’ll graduate to lampooning minorities, handicapped people, and the mentally ill. And we’ll be to blame because we encouraged it with our likes and retweets. Trust me, this is a racist monster and in ten years we’ll look back on this video and realize we had the chance to stop him early. Let this blog stand as proof of my effort to curtail him. I hereby absolve myself.

PS- it’s entirely possible (likely) that this kid descends from the indigenous people himself. In which case, his dancing is totally fine and I take back everything I said.
