Indian Dealer Achievement?

[Some_Dude2016]

So there is an achievement called "Indian Dealer" where you sell someone product and pickpocket it back. Is there a backstory to where this may come from? I tried finding it on a search engine and no luck. I don't want to be the one crying racist because I'm sure it's not and if it is I couldn't care less but I am curious if there is history to this terminology?

India is a country in Africa so yes, its racist

That's because it's a reference to the term Indian giver and it's not racist

Only stupid people think its a racist term and fail to understand the meaning. Literally means to give or trade then try and take it back

[SlaynHollow]

It is widely known that India has a problem with pickpockets and thieves. A bigger one than most countries. Look it up if you don't believe me. This achievement plays a fun poke at the fact. That's all. Stop trying to read in between the lines and cancel a game for no good reason.

My understanding is if someone gives a gift and expects something of equivalent value back. The name, if I had to guess, is likely from when settlers approached Native Americans (Indians) and gave them a gift, then expected something. Or it could be a play on the 'banditry' that the Indians committed onto travelers while the settlers traveled west. Those are my guesses, but I don't know for sure.

'I don't know what it is but I think it's racist.'

Why? Because it has the word Indian? Since Indian is not a racially vilifying term by itself, it makes your summation that it must be racist.... racist.

Nobody is racist... we all hate each other equally. Can we just get back to gaming?

All of these unhinged posts don't know the etymology of the term is about Indigenous Native Americans, and not people from the country of India.

Did no one read the part where I said I couldn't care less if it is racist I just wanted to know the history, I never claimed racism I was just curious.

Nobody here reads anything when they are all too worked up after hearing the word "racist" and going on their long crusades about how racism is 'good actually', and all the other hateful BS they spew everywhere while also denying that they are racists themselves.

Also, its a pretty racist thing to say 'I dont care if its racist'.... which is why I'm not gonna answer your question myself. lol

Fair enough I could have phrased it better as I meant that I was not going to throw a fit if it was a misunderstanding but I guess I went a little overboard in hopes that people wouldn't accuse me of trying to stir up drama.
