I live in Wisconsin near a reservation. The natives are treated like 2nd class citizens. We destroyed their culture and now they are begrudged anything. Hang out in Indian country for a while. You will clearly see that they are very much treated like 2nd class citizens. Most tribes don't have a high dollar casino. The only tribes getting rich are the ones near the metro areas. Check out the rez's in northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin. The natives there are live a much different life than the "casino Indians" you are aware of.

That I do. There is a a magnitude of difference between the situations.
I am hispanic also. But I am one of the stealth hispanics that the right fears the most I think. My father is from Puerto Rico and very light skinned(I think the Irish got in there at some point), my mother is pure anglo from Massachusetts.
I have to make sure people are aware of my last name at least a couple times a year. We have a large migrant(primarily hispanic texans)population that comes to work at the bean factory here every summer. I have to interrupt a number of mexican and hispanic jokes and stories every year at the local bars. There is one bar here that they really don't like to see me. I tend to get in fairly loud arguments with the racists. I love running circles around them logically. It ain't real hard.
