wow not really sure what to think, i may have to process this a little more. it was funny and insulting all at the same time. i know this sounds bad but it really would depend on who made it wether or not they are native. there were some good stings in there, but i did not like the eagles.
all in all i thought it was very punny
on a side not how the heck did i get so many points so fast, i mean wow it like tripled over the weekend.

Not sure about the points.

Good description on the video--funny and sometimes insulting all at the same time!

One thing about the cartoon though is that it is definaltey not based on history. Whenever groups migrate to a different area, eventually they take over the area and dominate. In ancient history look at the Greeks, Romans, Goths, Vandals, etc. In the medieval period look at the Arabs, and Mongols. In more recent times, you saw that with the colonization of the America, the Imperialism of the 1800s, and the USSR.

It is ok.

In a sarcastic and simplified way to be funny, it sends the message about illegal immigrants and these people's viewpoints. It's definitely tongue in cheek and the stereotypes I don't think are meant to be insulting as much as to be humerous. It does'nt offend me really, I don't care who made it. I think the overall point was made pretty clearly.
