Well, the latest Family Guy has Natives brewing their own hootch now.

The narrative used to be that "Whitey Bad for Introducing Them to Alcohol, Which They Had Never Heard Of Before".

Why is the narrative on THAT changing now?

Because it's now obvious that non-humans know what the fuck alcohol is, and seek it out, even if they don't make it themselves, they know that stinky ground-fruit will get them bombed. From monkeys and elephants, to raccoons and my own deer neighbours with the park crab-apples, a bunch of vaunted humans sure would look retarded if they had no idea of what alcohol was before Whitey showed them, wouldn't they? :P

And I recall an episode of F-Troop that brought this up. The Hekawi chief states that the whole "keeping whiskey out of the hands of the Indian" thing was rather "paternalistic", and suggests back then the whole narrative was a lie ... because "why else would someone trade an island for some beads?"
