But that light ribbing, as people like to call it, can have some uncomfortable connotations, considering Kurtis is of a mixed background.

As this sort of thing, implying (a more often than not) non-white/mixed person is somehow 'dirty', is a rather common racial stereotype thrown around a lot, often very casually, as I understand it. So, being aware of that might be something to keep in mind, when these sort of things come around. Especially if there are no malintentions.
Very valid point, and not something I'd considered at all (not surprising being white, I know) - I assumed it was because he smoked and had the emo look and as a child of the 90s, the grunge look came with all the comments of 'do you ever shower'. Thanks for explaining!!

We are literally not insulting him because he is half Native American, we hate him and laugh at him because he sexually assaulted Lara also is the fact that we didn’t know his backstory either lmaoo literally no correlation

No he just looks like he smells

Just when I thought this forum couldn't get any better, we end up discussing whether Kurtis smells or not :cln:

Most people wouldn’t even have bothered to know his backstory

I'm happy about Kurtis, I love him and would love to see him return in this franchise in some capacity.

That was so incredibly cringy. I feel like I want to bleach my eyes after reading that post.

But this whole "Kurtis smells" meme is completely brand new to me - it feels very random xD Whatever the origins of it though, I feel like I can say with confidence that it has nothing to do with his race. Like really, who even knew that about Kurtis? He's whiter than Lara, for god's sake.

Anyway, can't wait to see how he looks like in Reloaded. It would be great if we could use him but I doubt it
