Non-Indians usually like Indians. They sympathize with the underdog, and cast the Indian as the losers! In the South Indians are spoken of in the past tense. They are "dead," "removed," or otherwise out of the present, relegated to some historical framework. There they lose life, lose the power for good or evil and somehow become either evil villains or subservient, romantic figures.
