    Natives had it right. There is no privilege when the tribe raises a child. Western nepotism has been a plague on this earth for thousands of years.

      The whole “noble savage” stereotype is just another form of racism. Natives everywhere had to deal with the same bullshit any other society did.

      It was not that long ago that western children were also raised by a village. The strict nuclear family we know today is a modern phenomenon, only made possible by the vast prosperity western civilisations gained over the past couple centuries.

      Go back, read more history books. Nepotism is a dominant trait of every empire on the globe that decayed and fell apart on its own.

      “Western nepotism” … Psh.
