Yes I realize that. Still racist "fetishism" stereotypes are different from racist "layabout" stereotypes. It sounds like what Saya is describing in Canada is closer to the US's stereotypes about migrant workers than native Americans. It doesn't make it less fucked up, but it's still different.
As I said, I'm more remarking on the general cultural perception, rather than the fact that there are still tribes and reservations here on the east coast.
Sorry, should have specified. I'm mobile and typing quickly as I walk from one job to another. I don't really have time to proofread, and even if I did, I'd probably still miss stuff.
