One thing that I think is being missed (in general not attributing directly to the above quoted poster) is the issue of systemic racism.
If we see images and hear racial slurs on a daily basis we become desensitized to them and become accepting of them. Yet, they are still degrading to the people the slur is against.
Why are we more "sensitive" in Canada? Because we understand this.

What systemic racism against natives exists in the US? I'm interested, apparently we know in Canada more than they do about their own societal happenings.
