I’ve seen that so many times. Worthless platitudes from people that exclusively hang out with other fairly well do to white liberals of certain political opinions, absolutely horrified to see me hanging out and partying with treaty natives, despite all their rhetoric about “acknowledging stolen land” and multiculturalism horseshit. It was so obvious they thought I’d get beat up or stabbed (although to be fair, that may have been likely if they tried hanging out, rez indians don’t much care for phonies). I saw no reason why moving my redneck ass to the city meant I could no longer be friendly with the local natives, had been around tribes my whole life.
yknow one of the most recent glaring incidents (in the media) of this I recall recently, was when certain people tried to shame the governor of montana for how he was portraying native americans. They wouldn;t put the quote in the articles though, had to go out of my way. He was talking about having a good time at a (reservation) branding getting drunk with Indians, not a single part of it was insulting to anyone who’d ever been to a branding, white or indian, these are parties where you do start drinking heavy around noon, by the time the work is done, everyone has a good buzz going on and then the party starts.
