Huh. We didn't foot race. We actually "shot" at each other with toy guns, sometimes with actual caps. Sometimes we just said "bang."

Oh, and I didn't live on anything you could refer to as a "block."
I think every boy in our neighborhood had one or two cap guns. Btw, in addition to cowboys and Indians, we also played cops and robbers and war with Americans versus the krauts and japs. I guess we were a bloodthirsty bunch.
Yeah, we did plenty of role playing with WWII including all kinds of military items we thought we knew all about including Tiger tanks, Sherman tanks, half-tracks, bazookas, pineapple grenades, potato mashers, grease guns, corsairs, P-51s... Anything to kill the bad guys. And we were sure about which guys were the bad guys.

K-6 age kids have epic nerf guns fights these days. (And those suckers can hurt.) What they don't do is divide up into groups based on any sort of nationality/ethnicity. And, it doesn't seem to matter.

How far back can we go regarding being offended? Just about everyone was conquered or colonized by someone at some time.

We didn't race either but we ran all over the block. We had bows and arrows (rubber tips) and guns that you stuck in the mud and shot mud bullets. The fastest kids could out run each so the element of surprise was the best. To give you and idea of what we did, check out this clip - the part about the Revoluntionary War is classic.
