Made fun of, yes, but there was no outrage, calls for boycotts, etc.

I remember both of those, in addition to the ridicule. Just wasn't as loud.

Who would do it? The crazy, easily offended, superficial and impulsive Native Americans? There's only one tribe that gets fuming mad and violent about this kind of ridiculous shit...
