My wife is Metis, and has had to deal with everything from comments about her being a "snow nigger" to people saying that she shouldn't have a job and only has one because of her colour. Take outta that her ten years experience and stellar work reviews of course, thats all biased because of colour as well.
Of course there's a lot of tension in my community. I get comments right on the street about how I'm a white devil, and people should steal my children the way the white man stole the aboriginal children here. I had someone knock on my car window and say they were going to steal my daughters and raise them dene, so they'll hate me too.
What a wonderful world we live in. The generalizations, the rascism, people being raised from birth to believe in outdated notions.
