"What Made the Red Man Red?"

Hmmmm?

According to the song, a pale skinned prince received his first kiss from an Indian maiden and blushed. Therefore, all of the Indians born after him had red skin. Not only does this video stereotype Native Americans but it also stereotypes women. The beautiful women are young and unmarried. The mother and mother-in-law are presented in an unattractive manner.
