I believe I called the picture "in poor taste" and you'll have to quote where I defended sterotyping.
Also I did not claim to be objective (my views are clearly subjective), but rather objectively superior to you. That is, in kind of a Nietzschean sense; you know, "What is ape to man? A laughing stock or painful embarrassment". That sort of thing. I'm not sure who Zarathustra is in this analogy, but the details aren't crucial, I'm just saying that all evidence in this thread would suggest that you kind of suck in terms of your ability to function in relation to other people in society and thus the source of what you (probably correctly) perceive as condescension. I really do have little respect for trolls, even quality trolls such as yourself.

I bet you don't even know what the original "Idle no More" protest is about?

Quite right, troll. I am not entirely clear on this. My understanding was that it was a protest in response to changes implemented by a piece of omnibus legislation that were seen as degrading environmental protection afforded to waterways, as well as instituting a new rule whereby bands could enter into lease agreements for band land on the basis of a majority of votes at a meeting called by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs rather than a simple majority of all band members entitled to vote. But those things are rarely mentioned and solutions to those issues (however the INM movement might like to present them which is also unclear) are not forthcoming from supporters so far as I've seen.
I have no motivation to research their perspective and feel that if you are protesting perceived injustices you are at minimum required to tell the general public what those perceived injustices are and how you propose they be remedied.
