Unless you want to talk about why your view of hockey is so whitewashed that you can't think of any connections between hockey players in general and victims of colonialism
Yeah, the problem is definitely that my view of hockey is whitewashed.. when "hockey players in general" are overwhelmingly white, and the whole beaver convo started as a hypothetical generalizing of Canadian hockey players... and my whole point is that I don't find colonialism an appropriate subject for generalizing, not when that general category includes a tiny number of victims of colonialism and a disproportionate huge number of beneficiaries of it. Tell me, what are the connections between "hockey players in general" and victims of colonialism?
I also like how I'm sucking the fun of the conversation by being so absurd as the bring up the colonial implications of werebeavers, of all things... when you were the one who brought the oh so lighthearted subject of colonialism into the fun werebeaver conversation to begin with by suggesting we contemplate the implications of werebeavers on a real life history of colonialism??
