I've no idea about that, but if you would post the Turkish text, I could help you with a better translation.

I see.

Okay, now I found the whole context on Google.

"dot" refers to Indians residing in Asia (in India, specifically), and "feather" refers to the Indians who are indigenous to America (Native Americans).

Some people may take offense at such labellings.
