I think icecube accurately points out thoughts and statements that are racist in nature, and while he may accuse the person in question of being racist for using it, what shouldn’t be lost in this is how easily people rely on racism when talking about First Nationa people.
The fact is, racism against First Nations people is still very present and accepted today. You can try and dismiss icecube’s accusations as “oh, they just think everybody is a racist!” but if you do that without recognising the amount of language and rhetoric born from historical racism in the last while of this conversation, then I think you need to re-evaluate.
