Indigenous people and animals: same thing.

You know these albums with figurines that are always going around. There's one about animals very popular this year. I puts a picture of a "weird" or "cute" animal with some short information about it.

It also has several pictures like this:

Nice, huh? The objectification of oppressed people is nothing new. Nor is it new that they are presented as

My sister showed me the figurine saying: "Look! I got the idiot one! This one's rare!"        

I did point out it was racist, but I doubt the point got across.
