Trust me, I deal with the tragic consequences of social problems in First Nations communities more often then you can likely imagine. However, recognizing that those problems exist, and discussing them in a constructive and respectful way, is completely different than stating that "natives sure like to get drunk and fight." Surely you can recognize that distinction.
