Insanity rules

What in Gawd's name is wrong with the Art Gallery of Ontario's "indigenous" curator, Wanda Nanibush?!  She and the gallery's curator of Canadian art, Georgiana Uhlyarik, have decided to re-name an Emily Carr painting to, "...eliminate culturally insensitive language from titles in its collection."

OMG!  Why is it always women who are so dumb?!

Poor, old Emily, turning in her grave, as her work is high-jacked by insanity at the AGO.  A panel near the painting notes the name change, explaining that the artist's title was in keeping with the language of her era, but that the gallery is in the process of amending titles containing, "terms that are considered discriminatory by modern standards."

OMG again!

Except that Carr painted it when she painted it, back when natives were called "Indians".  (By the way, does anyone actually know why they are called "Indians"?  Because the explorers who discovered them thought they had reached India.  But I digress.)  No one was more in-tune with natives and their culture than Carr, so to have the name of this painting changed for no good reason is a bit of an outrage.  Were I a native, I would be insulted that a couple of art gallery dummies assumed I would be insulted by the title of a 1924 painting honouring them.  Who do these women think they are and with whom do they think they are dealing?  Patronizing in the extreme.    

"If we change this title, does that mean we're changing the past?" says Uhlyarik.  "Not at all," was her stupid reply.  So why change the title?  You can't change the past, dummie.  The article in 'The National Post' went on to say that, "the effort to contextualize (a pompous word) Carr's painting is of a piece (mumbo-jumbo) with the gallery's decision last October to appoint her and Nanibush to jointly head the newly-rebranded Canadian and Indigenous Art department."  What a dumb move. 

How can a beautiful painting depicting an Indian church be "hurtful and painful"???  "I think this is how we open up a conversation about colonial history," this dimwit said.  Except, you run an art gallery, lady-- not a course on colonial history.  Wake the eff up.  Natives are doing themselves irreparable harm acting like this.  It's laughable. 

"Renaming a work in contradiction with the artist's intentions is tantamount to censorship," said Jan Ross, curator at Emily Carr House.  "We must examine things within the context of their day." 

Precisely.  How did these idiots get their jobs?  Here's the "offensive" painting:
