That made me groan. I mean - argh, you really can't hipster out like that. We're not 'post-racist'. Stupid prejudice and stereotypes against NA folks are alive and well, and while Butcher may not personally have seen them in action, others sure as hell have.
It's not exactly rare either. How in-the-open it is depends where you are; you can get out-in-the-open back-assward-ness or 'ironic' hipster BS, but it's still all over. The fact that it took Canada up until a few years ago to apologize for those disgusting residential schools (if you google these for further details, I WARN YOU, they were often rife with abuse and assault of all kinds--and either way they were an attempt at cultural obliteration) says it all. The fact that a lot of programs run by and for NA people had their funding slashed shortly after that apology says EVEN MORE.
tl;dr yeah you can't do 'ironic' shit like that. Racism is not over. Jerkfaces still equals very yes.
