Bobloba says he is not really allowed to say what he feels, then provides 3 paragraphs of anecdotal evidence of "natives" social delinquency. He does know a good one though! Classic.

There's some great posts in here, like IFFs, and I think many of us share similar viewpoints. LIke Chris_Lindberg, I'm disappointed that a discussion of First Nations peoples always seems to degenerate to anecdotes and thinly-veiled racist comments.

That said, I still don't get how racial presumptions aren't racist.

I've had my ass handed to me a few times by white dudes. Most panhandlers where I live are by-and-large whites. Most serial killers I see on TV are white. Most wife-beaters I've encountered in life are white.

How come there's no systematic presumption that white people are prone to these things? How come there's no government assistance to help white people stop molesting their kids? How come the raciallized communities aren't calling for the white leaders to put an end to the Paris Hilton plague of stupidity spreading through the white youth community? How come when I got tuned up, it was by just a bunch of dudes?
