It pisses me off to no end to see these people living off Indigenous identity when most actual Indigenous people, .... especially Indigenous youth ... see their heritage as a burden rather than a blessing.
I'm full blooded Indigenous in northern Ontario, I speak my language, it was the first one I learned as a child before I was taught English and I've never enjoyed being who I was because that is what the rest of the world taught me. To see these arrogant people living off my misery is infuriating.
I pretend to not be Indian and I'm laughed at
They pretend to be Indian and they get to have everything
