You know there is something that’s been kinda bothering me and I kinda wanna have a discussion about it with someone. Now this whole thing is coming from a white, sorta female (it’s what i identified as when all of this went down) Canadian perspective. And since I am talking about Native men it should be noted the kind of (I hate to say it like this but) special treatment the government give Natives here. (it’s also important to say because most of the guys I’m talking about rubbed this fact in my face, like, a lot)
Also should be noted I know how flawed the Canadian government is when it comes to this sort of thing and it should also be noted that most of these men had some of the highest paying jobs in Canada.
Ok disclaimer over, so you know where I’m coming from now. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with Native men and that being that every time I turned one of them down, whether it was at a bar or I’ve known them for a few days to a few weeks and they just confessed their undying love for me (that happened twice) they immediately accused me of being racist and not going out with them/sleeping with them just because they’re Native and I must think they’re (insert whatever stereotype you want here) etc etc and they all got really really mad enough so that a few times I felt threatened for my safety.
Now my question is this: is this more based in a form of reverse racism? (I mean that in the person by person basis, not the institutionalized version) Or is it more based on male privilege and they are just using this excuse to coerce me into doing whatever it is they were trying to make me do.
What do you think?
