To me it's all about tone and wording. Polak and yourself have been making very fair, factual comments on the situation. What bugs me is the flippant/stereotypical style comments like the guy who just comes in and goes "Well, guess we're going to see a bunch of wrecked luxury SUV's!"
A comment like that is unnecessary and is more of a "I know what's up with those Natives, they're all the same" tone of phrasing, and as another poster pointed out, just serves to reinforce the very stereotypes that hold these people down.
