I can't think of a culture that treated all plants and animals as sacred and apologized to them for killing them for food like in Avatar. That's a bullshit stereotype. Some indigenous American groups used to drive herds of buffalo off cliffs, harvest the meat they could carry and then leave the rest to rot. And that's just one of plenty of examples.

Indian here, can confirm this is true.

Nobility is on an individual scale, trying to say a whole race is "noble" and "certain traits", even positive ones, is racism. Racism is specifically trying to define someone based solely on " observable traits" from their race.

I'd like to think I'm a pretty stand up guy, but I know some fellow Indians who are real pieces of shit, that's just how society works.
