Defending their homeland
I don't know if you ever got Lone Ranger reruns in the UK, but that is a perfect example of that. In the show, the Lone Ranger calls his Indian companion "Tonto". Well that means "stupid" in Spanish. Tonto calls the Lone Ranger (a white man), "Kemosabe", which means "wise man" essentially in Spanish. Hmm, no racism there, huh?
I always wondered what Kemosabe meant. After I tried to learn some simple Spanish I sought of guessed it meant "he who knows" something like that.
We say over here that if you can listen to the William Tell overture and not think of the Lone Ranger then you are a musical/social snob.
