Lone Ranger: "What are We Going to Do, Tonto?"
Tonto to Lone Ranger: "What Do You Mean 'We', White Man?"
(or pale face, or kemo sabe...)
It's a great line to revert to in our systemic white privilege days...
Tonto be funny. (Should I explain? Not his problem -- "White Man problem...")
Soo, if somebody recycles -- or dare I say, Resurrects? -- a famous line from the past, that most Boomers, well-circulated Xers, and even well-read millenials will pick up on... don't be scared and scarred young ones!
Know your history! American cultural history too! Even that what came before you... "What you talkin' bout, Willis??" Lest we all be pointing fingers at others for being racists, sexists, and "bad white man" when it is your own ignorance holding you back from understanding the joke. On you.

Sunday morning PSA complete.
Now get out there, and get fishing!
ADDED: Never apologize. Your friends don't need it. Your enemies won't believe it anyway.
SPEAKING OF HUMOR: How can you NOT love this man? That glass toss is the American attitude right there... Long may she wave! You got that, Marco? (not a racist comment; an American cultural reference, for those in the know.)
