The nurses probably don't even think they were being racist, they'll justify it to themselves that they see a lot of Indigenous people come in that are drunk or drug etc. and thought it was fair to assume this was one of those times. But stereotyping based on race is pretty clearly racism.
In this very thread, with absolutely no reason to suggest it, we had a poster bring up the possibility she may have been a prostitute with drug problems to hand-wave away the racism. But if she was a married white mother going to the hospital for chronic pain, do you think anyone would unprovoked bring up the chances of her being a prostitute?

7 children in 2020 isn't a reason to think prostitution is at least a possibility?
I only know 1 person with 7 kids, a white woman, who was a prostitute.
Man you are going to hurt yourself reaching that far to try and paint me as a racist. At least grow a ####ing set and have the fortitude to say it rather than ##### footing around thinking you're clever.
