It's pretty easy for someone in Calgary for example to make that generalization when the only Indians they see are drunk Indians hanging around the C-Train downtown, Olympic Plaza, etc. Sad but easily explained.

OR when I worked at Superstore there was always one day a month when a ton of natives would come in to buy their kids stereos, video games by the DOZEN, TV's ect... Even had to haul it out to their fancy brand new trucks.
I've had native friends and they agree with me, the government handouts shouldn't be neccessary anymore because for the most part their people abuse it. Why not spend that money on better clothes for your children? or for school?
I try not to hold it against them because we're living on their land but good god... I NEVER give money to natives on the street for that reason... am I racist?
