That said, if you're actually offended by that video then the problem is bigger than the lame attempt at a joke.

I bet if the video was about satirical about Columbus and the white men ruin everything, you'd be all over it. Tell me I'm wrong.
 
I'm fascinated by Native Americans and their culture. In the last month alone I've watched 4 different documentaries on different Native tribes and empires. What gets me is sheeple are so prone to bash Columbus and all the bad things the Spaniards and the white men did to the Natives and are either ignorant or apathetic to the bizarre and barbaric practices many of the Natives did. To me, they both accomplished great things, were cultures to be celebrated and remembered, but both did some pretty nasty ****. It's history. Deal with it.

Obviously not satirical. Where's the satire?

I don't think you're amused by it or find it funny, but it doesn't mean it's not satire.
It's certainly not my favorite thing Ben's interns have posted, but I don't think it makes him a racist either.
Satire:
the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
synonyms: mockery, ridicule, derision, scorn, caricature

Okay. So how is it satire? What is it mocking?

I didn't make it. You're asking the wrong guy. Besides, you already know the answer to your question. :)

I do. It's not a satire. It's advancing the idea that was extremely common until the 60s, and is still common in some right wing circles, about colonization being a force of enlightenment to backward savages.
