What would happen if I sent my kid to school with a t-shirt directed towards natives that said "Got Money? Thank a white man!"
edit: ok first he would be called sexist because it should be a White Person or Man/Woman, but after that, a racist!

That comes with the insinuation that the natives got the money as a hand out. That's insulting and may be or may not be true but if you got land in Canada, it came from the natives and that is the truth.
Doing things in a tasteful and respectful manner has gotten the natives no where, so now a little push back happens and all the bigots come out to play.
