leave her alone. you've made your point to her. she wants to drop it, if you want to keep discussing the way natives are treated why can't you do it without involving her? its not her fault she didnt understand, damn.

Ignorance is a choice. She made a statement, a statement that attempted to silence Native Americans from complaining about racism against them. She didn’t ask any questions. She didn’t ask: is this offensive? why is this offensive? what are your feelings about this? No, she made a statement justifying cultural appropriation. I feel no pity for her. She is a racist. And if I ignore her how will that benefit anyone? Sure it would benefit her; she cannot stand being told she is a racist. But would it help any Native people who she is promoting racism against? Nope. I am not hear to coddle racists.
