Judging by how it plans to celebrate Thanksgiving, the Foggy Bottom bad-memory hole McFadden’s seems to be doing everything in its ability to cement its reputation as D.C.’s douchiest bar. The bar, launching pad for countless walks of shame back to the George Washington University dorms and vomit-filled cab rides to Glover Park, figured it would mark the season by inviting patrons to “party like a pilgrim” and “drink like a Indian”:

Alcoholism affects Native Americans more severely than any other ethnic group. In 2008, the Centers for Disease Control published a study reporting that between 2001 and 2005, nearly 12 percent of all Native American deaths were alcohol-related. The Interior, Justice and Health and Human Services departments also collaborate on an office devoted to combatting alcohol and drug abuse on Indian reservations.

But, you know, McFadden’s. Way to be racist. (Its Facebook page is filling up with disgusted responses.) Also, maybe work on your use of indefinite articles. Happy Thanksgiving, douchebags.

UPDATE, 8:20 p.m.: It looks like McFadden’s has canceled the event:

It has come to our attention that one of our Thanksgiving events has caused some concern to our guests. The Pilgrims and Indians party, originally scheduled for Tuesday November 20th, was intended to be a festive event to get into the holiday spirit, and was never meant to offend any ethnicity or group of individuals. We truly apologize for not being more sensitive to our loyal patrons whose support and enthusiasm has been appreciated throughout the years.

We have since canceled the event and removed all promotional materials. In lieu of the event, McFadden’s would like to say thank you to our loyal customers by hosting a complimentary cocktail hour from 8-9pm on Tuesday November 20th.
