I've been making this argument again and again across the thread but it apparently bears repeating ad nauseam.

Imagine if this were the "Irish Software Foundation", named because a guy watched a documentary on the Potato Famine and thought Irish people seemed noble and hardy. Of course that would be offensive and stupid.

It might be stupid and a caricature, but it's not offensive.

Speaking of which, a lot of minority identities actually do revolve around certain set of values like the ones you mention.

People stereotype people all the time. The fundamental causes of distress of the indigenous people in the US have approximately zero to do with that.
