I hate when british sailors lost in artic are like "we need to kill this bear" first it's not a bear it's like some other shit. Second the officers havent even discovered the ramifications of its hazards yet

ive been thinking about how jirving's prejudice kind of differs from the other characters in the show. most of how the other characters (jfj, hodgson, little, etc) express prejudice is through a sense of vitriol and fear towards the inuit, and generally considering their fellow white people to be more civilized. in contrast to this, i think its interesting to think about how jirving does what a lot of ultra religious white people do, especially in that time period, of creating multiple outgroups within the larger ingroup (of white people) in order to bolster their sense of moral superiority that their religious fervor relies upon.

we see jirving creating outgroups for gay people with all the stuff with hickgib, but we also see him create an outgroup for "blasphemers" through his behavior towards manson. even though manson wasn't really doing anything wrong, jirv hears the word "ghost" and goes from 0-100 instantly (though if we're being honest jirv is always at like at least a 30). he gets so so mad very easily at his fellow white people, but his tone about the inuit is always surprisingly respectful, like when he says in ep 4 they should ask the indigneous people about the tuunbaaq. a very level headed and reasonable take with no hateful language, which contrasts very starkly with jfj’s behavior in that same scene.

i do think this can be easy to interpret as Woke White Boy Jirving, but it makes me think about christian missionaries and how they wormed their way into the lives of various indigenous communities by sort of trojan horsing their colonialism by cloaking it in kindness. basically i think jirving's tone toward the inuit is so cordial bc he doesnt think they are people in the same way that white people are, so he doesnt hold them to the same standards that he holds hickey and manson to. he kind of treats them like animals to be trained/children to be taught. ultimately I think his character really effectively does the necessary job of illustrating the different forms of racism colonizers can demonstrate.
