Talk:Kathy Hochul
Look at some of these pictures closely. [1] She's a little bit cross-eyed, isn't she?
Now don't get me wrong. A Navaho friend of mine explained some of the cultural misunderstandings that occurred between whites and Natives when they first encountered each other. Many Native American's were cross-eyed, and whites took their inability to "look them in the eye" as a sign of mistrust, hence the derogatory slur, "cross-eyed Indian". But in many native American cultures, kids are taught never to look a parent or elder in the eye or challenge them, hence they become cross-eyed by keeping one eye on the leader while always looking away. So when they met the white man, it was a sign of deference and respect, and not of deception and duplicity.
In Hochul's case, I won't cut her the slack of thinking that she's being deferential and respectful, at all, as I normally would do in the culture I live in now. RobSLet's Go Brandon! 02:38, December 24, 2021 (EST)
