    Mildly related.

    I have a Native American friend. Her tribe is small so they only have a relatively small plot as their reservation. So they slapped a casino there and she makes bank by simply being a tribe member.

    I asked if she’s okay with that since I would feel bad making money off of peoples gambling addiction and she said

    “I don’t feel bad for white people.”

    And honestly

    1. I don’t think that’s a completely shocking take consider all of american history

    But also

    1. Its certainly a similar sentiment among sex workers I’ve met so its not an unfounded accusation.

    This is very much a “if your eye is causing you to sin, pluck it out” moment, but still
