9 Things We Learned From CIA Agent Mike Baker On Joe Rogan's Podcast

8. Racism Against Native Americans

Does anyone remember the original Peter Pan that came out in 1953? It was our first animated look at the boy who never ages and a movie that has a special place in the heart of many people who watched it as a kid. However, like a lot of movies that came out in the past, there are some elements of the film that don't really fit in today's society.

For example, the movies depiction of Native Americans is wildly racist in hindsight. However, like a lot of moments during older movies, you can see that political correctness wasn't really what they were aiming for. Sadly, because it wasn't deemed as derogatory, it went unnoticed until the kids who watched it grew up.

That quickly morphed into a topic that's been brought up quite a bit as of late on the podcast, as Rogan has been book-binging on Native American culture. The two bring up some incredibly interesting facts about a tribes like the Comanches, who roamed America before the Europeans discovered the country and killed the majority of them with illnesses their immune system had never dealt with before.
