I'm always a bit taken aback by the overt discrimination shown by members of otherwise mainstream message boards and other online communities (not just CP) toward North American natives as a particular race. A lot of the same level of commentary wouldn't be nearly as acceptable if it were directed at, say, Filipinos, African Americans or East Indians.

For some reason, on any topic dealing with Native Americans, mainstream message boards start to resemble Stormfront.

Just an observation.
