Dartmouth College announced it will remove a weather vane from campus over its "racist" depiction.

Opponents said the weather vane is racist because it depicts the founder of Dartmouth College teaching a Native American.

Dartmouth College was originally founded with the mission of teaching Native Americans.

I don't get what the racist depiction is. Does it involve some stereotype I'm missing?

And as someone else mentioned in another thread - when it comes to offensive, stereotypical depictions why is nobody going after Madea movies?

(Sorry, I don't recall who you are poster - feel free to take credit if you see this.)

Literally.
It's like an insanity virus is spreading rapidly, maybe covid-19 also causes mental illness?

Apparently it involves the stereotype of colonialism and white supremacy by virtue of a white man educating an Indian. I guess white men shouldn't have done that.

Mind you, that was the whole purpose of Dartmouth's founding, so why they don't tear the whole place down brick by brick is beyond me. Who knows, maybe within a few years that's exactly where we'll be. It's hard to be hyperbolic any more when imagining just how much more belligerent and stupid and ignorant the Cultural Cleansing Brigade is going to get.

The weather vane depicts the founder of Dartmouth college teaching a Native American...somehow this is racist to the overly sensitive liberal-minded college folks?
Darthmouth college was built by whites, so why don't they just burn the whole college campus to the ground while they're at it? Take the liberal insanity up to the next level to show how woke they are!

What can one say...a evil racist weathervane?
Anybody who cannot see our country has truly lost its mind is blind! We are tearing ourselves apart over weathervanes, cereal boxes, and i am waiting for snow to be condemned...how they do away with it oughta be interesting. This is NOT about race its about turning We the People against each other while the one world gov't/globalist/new world orderites ect. destroy the Republic.

I'm curious if any posters are from that area and can give insight if this weather vane has been an issue before now.
