I don't need you to "educate" me. I know all of that.
Are you assuming that all indigenous people think the same exact way about this? Sure looks like it. Are you assuming we all SHOULD hold the exact same view? Looks like that too.
Are you assuming I, as an indigenous person, don't know any better and need your enlightenment? Looks that way.
Take a good hard look in the mirror before you start spouting off and trying to act like the Great White Savior. I swear, you are like a parody of that.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Wrong on both counts. And I'm certainly not WHITE, thank goodness
Wow, you really are tone deaf.
FYI, saying "I'm certainly not WHITE, thank goodness" is really offensive.

Why “thank goodness”?

She was so clever to be able to arrange not to be white?
She's acting "white" in the very worst sense of that odious expression.

You’re so ignorant to culture it’s astonishing to me.
Grow up. Absolutely nothing wrong with being white, and there’s nothing wrong with being proud of your culture.
I hope one day you snap out of your close-mindedness and hero complex and travel the world while learning more about different peoples cultures. Gate keeping cultures definitely isn’t smart either.

You're acting like a caricature of white savior complex. And no matter what color you ar, you are off base and out of line to try and tell me my people's history/struggle and how I should feel.
