A few reserves in canada have went out of their way to try to dry up liqour in the area after the area’s dealt with local hardships; for example a father falling asleep in the snow with his daughters while they die, because he was drunk the night before.
What does this say about all native americans? Nothing obviously. But its more than just a few isolated incidents, i’d hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Native Americans lack an enzyme that processes alcoholwhich other populations of people have, which is largely largely responsible for the alchoholism rates we see in Native Americans (statistically at least twice as high as other groups.)
Maybe drying up reserves is a bit extreme, but some kind of public awareness that everyone can’t handle booze the same shouldn’t be viewed as some kind of racist drivel, especailly when considering in real life, the victims are the people’s children who can’t leave a house with constantly drunk or fuckedd up parents.
Not only do native americans lack this enzyme, but reserves are areas of brutal cultural stagnation where the government usually refuses to step in to deal with huuge problems of child-abuse/mis-treatment.
Political correctness lets this shit go on and on and on.
Good heavens, where did you hear this silly thing! Cultures all over the world have their own unfounded beliefs, look at this one in South Korea, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death . I think you would be pretty hard pressed to find anyone outside of Canada who has ever heard of this enzyme malarkey.
But if I’m not mistaken, there are already quite a few dry townships in America and Canada. Maybe you ought to ban pornography on your reservations as well like the Australians do with their native population ( ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/s … TopStories ). Do the aboriginals also lack an enzyme that makes them unable to process porn?
You’re apparently an idiot, and no, its not racism if i’m talking about reserves which demonstratably have higher addiction levels, higher welfare levels, higher etc.
europeans and many many many other nations were chugging back booze for centuries to deal with contaminated water sources, the native americans, sat back and drank clean water, liqour is a toxin…
some website.
even if this website is dumb, theres plenty of scientific tests/research on this subject which suggest that, yes THIS IS THE CASE.
as to whethr or not they actually have these super high alcohol abuse rates, thats not really debatable sensically.
You’re such an ignorant, foot in your mouth, idiot.
Why am I racist exactly?
these are the facts:
Native american reserves are often-times areas of cultural stagnation that have very high crime-rates in comparison with neighboring towns/villages (1km apart) this is checkable, statistically. Its also checkable statistically, that they have higher drug abuse and alcoholism rates. What exactly is in contention so far?
The cultural stagnation? I’m sorry, but if you put a bunch of white-europeans in the exact same situation where things could be endlessly handed to them, the same thing would happen.
As to the stuff about biological differences in processing alcohol, I don’t expect everyone to be educated about the molecular biology of ethnic liqour processing, but to deny it straight up because you’re ignorant, and too arrogant to take 10 minutes to look it up, makes you an very special case indeed. What I mean by that is you’re an idiot.
Take ten seconds to review your statements before accusing me of being a racist and I won’t be so quick to point out your blatant idiocy over the issue. Yeah, I have a giant problem with the reserve that I live around, just like i’d have a giant problem with any slums that wasn’t the result of poverty.Knee-jerk accusations of racism are idiotic.
Especially since y’know, humans all share universal cognitive architecture because adaptations become species typical, by definition I couldn’t embrace racist beliefs, but acknowleddging differences in statistics for X, Zand Y isn’t racist, and you’re an idiot for suggesting otherwise.
yeah, thats what it is. I really couldn’t bea nymore disgusted with you, critisize the science/methodology envolved, your baseless claims mean nothing to me. say somthing of some value, or just please, shut up.
People need to be informed about what’s going on on Canada’s Aboriginal Reservations. Native Canadian peoples were not even allowed to vote until 1960. Don’t think you can cover up your oppressive apartheid regime by hurling insults at me.
They were also ruthless savages that brutally genocided each other and engaged in brutal warfare for thousands of years before europeans ever set foot in north america, and would still be living in bands of savage hunter-gatherer tribes. No one is justifying past governmental wrongs, the only way the canadian government could possibly honor native americans, is to treat them like EVERY OTHER CITIZEN.
