It's offensive in a way. It insinuates that Natives and Metis have a predisposition to behave criminally or inappropriately, that they aren't capable of making better choices. It's not much different than saying all Natives or Irish are drunks in the waiting, or that all men are potential rapists. Only a fucking idiot believes that tripe.

Please forgive them, they aren't capable of better. Typical left wing bullshit paternalism.

Typical left wing bullshit paternalism.

You know what? I like that even better than the more common expression, used lately - "the bigotry of lowered expectations"

It's a form of soft core racism. It's the liberal belief that others are incapable of doing/being better, or thinking for themselves, and that only the benevolent dictatorship of the educated liberal elite can truly determine what is good for them or what they are capable of because they are incapable of initiating positive change themselves. It's the new whiteman's burden....the liberal's load....of bollocks.
