2nd is definitely worse. I can find some laughter in the awfulness of the first one (I ask myself who he intended to make fun of... because that had to be the intention... right? Please tell me I'm right!)) The second one could nudge me toward censorship of that level of bad.

If not making fun of some awful stereotype in that video, does that mean that's how the Apache were seen in Denmark... Europe? Cochise and Geronimo not happy.
"did people comment on the obvious right out loud in those days?"
