Good TC. Now you can start the healing and not worrying about her anymore.

Wait, how is that phrase racist... it's in reference to us screwing them over and continually taking back promises unless everything I ever heard about it was wrong >_>

Nah, you have it backwards.

"To an Indian, the giving of gifts was an extension of this system of trade and a gift was expected to be reciprocated with something of equal value. Europeans, upon encountering this practice, misunderstood it, considering it uncouth and impolite. To them, trade was conducted with money and gifts were freely given with nothing expected in return. So this native practice got a bad reputation among the white colonists of North America and the term eventually became a playground insult."

So yeah, it was about the Native Americans, not the white colonists.
