It’s funny because “Red Indians” was used by colonial settlers to describe a broad range of people and tribes conquered and subsequently had their culture and families completely demolished by the invading forces. And we still refer to them as “Indians” in education and literature regardless of their preferred preferences!
That’s the kind of mentality that leads to misunderstandings. You cannot translate tone through a written medium, that’s why emojis and the /s even exist in the first place
I’m surprised more Native Americans aren’t up in arms.

It’s more that sarcasm does not translate through text
Sarcasm done right translates just fine via written text.

Sarcasm?
More so that it wasn’t funny regardless of whether or not we got the joke.
