I'm not sure there is any real sci-fi today. That was a time when people dared to dream. Not so much now.

Everyone's afraid of offending someone somewhere. The good stories and jokes are locked in a vault.

Like i tell my Indian Friend. Maybe Fire-Water.

And this is how I got into trouble with my son and his "woke" wife. I talked about how I got to see a tribal dance put on by one of the Indian tribes and how great it was. The offense was calling them "Indian" and that his wife is some small percentage whatever she calls that. It didn't matter that the Cherokee Nation had a website (now gone) called indiannation.com or somesuch. It didn't matter that before I met his mother I dated a full-blooded Indian for three years (forgot which tribe).
 
I mentioned this in another post somewhere. If you're not a member or partially a member of a race, I don't think you can judge them. I remember my wife, (full Japanese) being offended at a little ditty my nieces, who were probably around 8 and 10, chanted, something about Japanese, Chinese, dirty knees, or something else silly, that I didn't see how it was offensive. My wife mentioned later that it had bothered her. I didn't see how, but felt that she had a right. As my brother always intimidated me, I wound up speaking to my mother who spoke to at least the older niece, who called to apologize.

How you judge your daughter in law is up to you of course, but, in my arrogant opinion, if it bothered her, I feel it should be up to her. Even if she's some (to us) absurdly small percentage of native American. It hasn't been that long since various words were considered quite acceptable that, thankfully, no longer are.
 
My gosh that was it. But they didn't do the Look at these part, or if they did, it had other actions. They were pretty young, like I said, around 8 and 10, and I know that if they'd done the look at these part, with those actions, I would remember. Or maybe they stuck in another phrase like look at me or something, but that was it.

Espionage724 I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way, but I appreciate you giving the length of the video in your post. I have a friend who will tell me look at this video, it turns out to be 15 minutes or something.
 
scottro It bothered her because she chose to let it bother her. That's why I mentioned the "woke" part. She examines every word out of people's mouths just looking for things to be offended by and not just the Indian thing.

I told my wife, after I first met her, that he seems to be happy so that's good but there's just something I can't put my finger on that's off and just a few years later I found out this is what it is.

Must have been interesting going around the factory. A guy I worked with had a corvette, he used to drive it into work each day, it looked like a fun motor! Similar stories here, british cars in the 70s were legendary for their poor build quality. It was the Japanese that taught the western auto companies about quality control. I have a little mazda that is my daily driver, its 11 years old now and it has not developed a single significant fault in that time, the only things that have needed changing are brake pads, it's still on the original factory fit silencer. It had a leak in the aircon radiator due to a stone puncture, I think that's the only thing I can point to... and that's most likely due to the poor state of the roads here, they are full of potholes.

I bought a five-year-old (December 1998) Suzuki Grand Vitara V6 (SQ625, E33) in 2004. I drove it until 2025 without any problems. Now I've given it to a relative who lives in the countryside and is quite happy with it. Not a single major breakdown (I've replaced the radiator, front suspension arms, the timing chain (once), and the low-pressure hose of the air conditioning system (twice) -- in 27 years, that's all!).
