I understand that. Some parts make me wince-y. Other parts make me more interested in Inuit culture. It's nice they don't simply ignore it, though in many cases, that is by no means enough.

I have a question for you, which is by no means meant as judgment; it's just a point of interest. Would there be a way to have a gleeful show about an RCMP character? I often think this about westerns. I know it is possible to do a serious western in which the treatment of Native Americans is addressed. But is it possible to have fun ass-kicking ones that a) don't gloss over the issue and b) aren't offensive? I'm not sure. Does that mean we shouldn't have fun, ass-kicking westerns? I'm not sure. Do I get to decide? I'm not sure. It's a conundrum; that's pretty much all I'm certain of.
