Answer
  • having a African American friend does not exempt you from taking responsibility for your racist acts.
  • having PoC in your community does not exempt you from taking responsibility for your racist acts. 
  • “colored people” is actually a bigoted term.
  • if you “love Indians” why don’t you post any photos of actual Native Americans? Why are the only pictures you post are of white girls wearing racist “Native American” costumes?
  • If you truly “love Indians” you will listen to the Native people, such as myself, who are calling you out on your racism.
