Chase Iron Eyes: Trump’s Mocking of Native Americans Gives License to Others to Denigrate My People

Also following their logic Trump could call her the n-word and it’s ok so long as she’s not really black. Come on. Even if Warren was 0% Native American calling her Pocahontas and saying she should give a speech at Wounded Knee with her husband in a headdress is still racist.

Similarly- even if you accept their narrative that this guy approached the kids, even if he did it viciously and violently, instead of the kids approaching him it’s still wrong to mock someone for their race and culture. I don’t care who’s at fault for the confrontation, it’s the behavior during it that’s indefensible. If a cop chasing a perp yells racial slurs, even if the cop is right by the law to pursue them, the cop is racist.
