Actually, I don't really care. I'm not saying it's right. I just personally am not bothered by it.

Accepting racism against whites is just as bad and juvenile as being racist against any other race.

No one is accepting racism against whites. We're arguing that no tangible racism against whites exists. If you disagree, then please provide some examples of where you've been unfairly discriminated against on the basis of your race, and how that's effected your life in any tangible, measurable or discernible way.
The other argument is that any racism against whites by aboriginals is a reaction to years of oppression and abuse suffered at the hands of whites. This isn't something I necessarily agree with, but we've seen in this thread that white people think it's perfectly okay to stereotype aboriginals based on the actions of other aboriginals and anecdotal experiences. If that's the case then isn't it understandable if aboriginals attach the stereotypes of racist, abusive #######s to white people based on their own anecdotal experiences?

but what you may fail to notice is that there's lots of 'white' people that are working with aboriginal people to better their lives and living standards. There are many races providing support for, and helping, other races, all over Canada.

Completely irrelevant to what we're discussing.

Allowing racism from one party, and not from another, is petty, self-centered and tone-deaf. It should be condemned from all angles.

That first sentence is just one giant mess of a contradiction.
