Well most people, even if they are from a tribal background don't really know how to define people who are tribal. Theres a lot of different labels but its a sort of deep disrespect that many people don't even realize what we really are. I don't really blame people for calling us Indians because they've been taught their whole lives to call us that, and people who want to show respect call us native Americans but in truth we aren't that either. A Taino and a Mohawk are alike, we have similarities, my people knew, and traded with tribes as far north as the damn Inuits and we have the tools and animal bones to prove it, but we aren't completely alike. The difference between an Arawak and an Azteka is as big as the difference between a German and a Frenchman, but instead of being referred to by our actual ethnicity we're all just lumped into these terms that don't suit us. I mean even just calling us all Red (since that we all have in conman the way all of Europe has lighter complexions) seems a lot more tolerable.
I guess that answers the second question first.
In terms of what would make him palatable. Seething, violent hatred. Then a sense of emptiness after realizing there was nothing he could do, that no matter how angry he continues to get nothing will change. Then finally acceptance and a determination to preserve. Altair and Ezio did it, but what makes things different is why. Altair did it because he was betrayed by the higest order, Ezio because of revenge. Connor needed to hate Templars, a true hatred not his whining. He needed to distrust whites, even those he worked with, then in time come to realize that the Templars are truly his enemy, then after "certain events" even come to pity Templars. He's so uninteresting and boring that the only thing that separates him from most of the NPCs is the fact that he hit every branch when he fell out of the stereotype tree.
(I also keep trying to find the stick on the lower part of the controller and then going DUH and moving to where the stick actually is)
