Why does the liberal media marginalize Native Americans?

[JGalt]

This is a good question for Lakhota, seeing how he claims to be a Native American. I couldn't help but noticing that every time I watch a movie on cable TV with the closed captioning on, and the characters speaking are Native American, the CC invariably reads "Speaking in foreign language."

Would someone please explain to me how Indian-speak is a "foreign language"? Granted, most Anglo-Americans living through America's western or pioneer times were probably not very well versed in the languages spoken by Indians, but would those be considered "American languages", or is that just a Hollywood thing? Would this be considered "systemic racism", even in this day and age?

Hell, a lot of the old westerns didn't even have indians playing indians but had obviously western european actors playing them with red paint on.

If it isn't English and they can't translate it easily, it is a foreign language. Did you know American Sign Language is considered a foreign language?
