Story Mode Controversy --REDUX

[Kalen]

The "Casino Indian" trope typically presents Native American casino "owners" (or perhaps an "Indian Chief" character) as greedy and taking things from White people. In dramas, the "chief" or "owner" works with organized crime, or sometimes runs organized crime.

Also, I hate to tell you.... but anyone that runs a casino, regardless of their ethnicity, is doing it out of greed. They're actively trying to take money out of the hands of the gamblers.... as they should be, if they want the casino to stay in business.

Well... I haven't seen most of whats on those lists.... and the things I have seen don't fit the trope at all.

But you see how the Duke does fit the trope, right?

Making money is not the same thing as being greedy. Unless it's considered greedy for Native Americans to want things like functioning schools and hospitals, they're not operating casinos because they're greedy.

I can see how someone would think that.... I can also see reasons why he doesnt.

they're not operating casinos because they're greedy.

Thats an opinion. You don't know the motives of every single person or organization that runs a casino any more than I do. However, IMO, its a moot point because we're talking about a fictional character in a fictional world. It is not completely outside the bounds of reason to think that this particular native american wasn't a great a guy pre-apocalypse and became a worse one post.

Sure. It's like an insignificant wound that doesn't hurt and isn't even noticeable unless you press on it.

...... Just because it doesn't exist IRL does not mean it is not allowed in a game setting.

You know a few updates ago I could have used this line

Oooh, the force is strong in this line!
