Should I feel offended?

<< < (4/17) > >>

Dina:
I don't remember French names. Actually, I remember having seen one French name besides Bayard but I don't remember which one now.
On the other hand, Itasca it's a name from USA if wikipedia serves right, but it was created from Latin.

Itasca is a county from the state I lived in. I think it was a native American word

Shecky:
General, undirected point of advice: never think anything is obvious where Jim is concerned.

Second Aristh:
It may or may not be relevant, but there was a ship named the Itasca involved with Amelia Earhart's disappearance.

Aminar:
I wouldn't worry about it. If you have to ask if you should be offended the answer is no.
Instead it's useful to examine other points of view and see what can be learned from what others have said and done.
Being offended is a waste of time.
Learning about other viewpoints, even blatantly wrong ones is not.
In this case, as has been said,  there are a number of hints that the book is making a point about the disfunctional nature of stereotypes and propaganda, not espousing a view point on said stereotypes.
And remember these are not Earth Cultures. Just loosely based on them.
