    He’s a bigot for having his own Lil theory about settlers from 12,000 years ago?

      Nobody knows what’s going in inside that melon except him, but it really does reak of the old mindset of colonials " discovering" lands where people had been living already for millennia, and assuming they’re too dumb to be considering. Or even making a spectacle of them like they’re some sort of animal.

      Even if is not intentionally malicious, that sort of disregard has some amount of bigotry attached.
