daoust- we've actually treated natives pretty shitty. Took their land, stole their children, infected them with smallpox on purpose, etc.
I have a dislike for the majority of native americans i've met. It's very similar to the dislike I feel towards some people in my hometown- going nowhere, no ambition, drink the trouble away. When I go home to visit my parents I see natives drunk at 10 in the morning, picking fights with people off the street. I've met very few native americans that work for their beliefs- whether it is to earn a degree, preserving their culture, or simply getting a steady job. I usually believe in the best from others, but when a group of people consistently and dissapointingly shows their worst side to me I don't bother trying to justify their actions anymore.
