As much as I loathe indians
Here's the problem: Loathing someone because of the circumstances of their birth is actual racism. Not cool. We're all individuals and worthy of respect until we show we're not. Hate the Indian Act, or the people who perpetuate victimhood, those are acts worthy of loathing, but there are plenty on Indians deserving respect and even admiration, especially those who have overcome the shit many of them live with due to awful parents and a system that enables bad behaviour. (Gladue, I'm looking at you.)
