I don't know if this makes it any less "politically incorrect" but the postcard and the other versions of this card (I have a small 1" x 2.5" or so version) are from an actor/actress set of cards and Jim Thorpe wasn't just dressed up in Native American attire for pure exploitation, he was actually playing a Native American chief in a movie with Tom Mix called "My Pal, The King" in 1932. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
