Hey Folks. The point of this episode was to show how easily we get caught up in racist slurs. Jerry has been programmed along the way to use stereotypes of Native Americans. George, needing to refinish a table, endsup with Jerry at a furniture repair place. There is one of those classic cigar store Indians there and he purchases it to give to Elaine as a peace offering. He uses every inappropriate "Indian" reference. He ends up with egg on his face when one of Elaine's friends proves to be American Indian. There is then an over abundance of self censorship as we realize how white culture has embraced this idiocy.
