Why is that ironic? It could be the most logical thing possible, without meaning any derogatory insinuation about the Comanche, as you would be prone to assume.

Logical things can also be ironic. And when saying what someone else would assume, you’re kind of punking yourself.

It’s ironic because there’s a common meme that to know and understand a lot about another culture is to be more forgiving and friendly towards it. It’s often said that ignorance breeds hate— but, while ignorance is a fertile breeding ground for fear and hate, intimate association can lead to plenty of it too.

Try not to play at being psychic over the interwebs. It generally winds up looking silly.
