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.
Regardless, your average liberal is quietly racist, if they are. The conservatives are more open about it, again, if they are. One behavior you’ll see in a conservative, but not a liberal, is saying the most racist bullshit and then hanging out with other races, vs the classic liberal never say a thing but not associate move.
