If I say “no” you will use that as an affirmation; and would be less likely to do more research about white privilege and racism.

If I say “yes” you will become defensive and use my prejudice as an excuse for your ignorance and racism.

I am not here for you. I do not care about you. How I feel about you should not persuade you either way. You should be doing research about white privilege and racism in an attempt to be an ally and a decent person; you should not be researching these topics to get a sense of acceptance.

I'm not so stfu, in holland we don't have racists, we only have a multi culture and are very open minded. Like you celebrate Halloween and some wear dutch men costumes we're not insulted too right? You are the same human-being as I am and we live all on this planet, I respect you, but if you call me a racist then you are one yourself too

Are white ppl ever going to understand that native people actually DON'T get scholarships or free secondary education ? It's a myth made up by the government -- just like most of the treaty 'privileges' we have. Most native people don't go to uni or college BECAUSE they can't afford it,not because they're 'lazy' and 'stupid'. Meanwhile,I know dozens of white ppl with low,barely-passing grades who apply for scholarships and get them with no problems.

I have ndn friends who were able to get scholarships for participating and preserving their cultures; but it is not the same as getting a scholarship just for being ndn. Also, those scholarships were not a fraction of the cost of one “education”. I agree with you. White people want to believe that people of color get their entire education paid for and on-top-of-that, that they got the scholarship and enrollment into whatever college without having earned it. They just want to feel victimize to counteract their white guilt.

If white people wanna be Native so damn bad than I have a thought: white people reservations. We can round them all up and put them on a rez in the middle of no where with no real access to ,resources or employment, start a federal bureaucracy to see to their affairs, then severely underfund it. Then, to top it all off, we’ll break up the white family and send their children to live with red saviors. Ya know, to civilize them. Then keep them under such system for at LEAST 200 years.
