Sunday 11 March 2007: 3/64 offended
Today I made the two-hour journey north to San Antonio. I am visiting my good friends Allen and Matt, and taking care of some school stuff. We went to Party City and were looking around when I found this drum. I am 3/64 Native American (Choctaw, to be exact) and this drum made me a little upset. Not only is it historically incorrect, it's also ignorant, irreverent, stereotypical, and just plain rude.
