Agnes Cuna, who was chairwoman of the tribe, said she was aware of Trump’s prior statements about Native Americans.
“It doesn’t bother me,” she said, adding that she came away liking Trump after their limited interaction. “If I held everyone accountable for every word they said, I wouldn’t have a life.”
Having worked on Reservations for years and having met upper management, Trump is not wrong
You are
Gurgle.... Defend Trump at all costs. Maybe on tulalip they wouldn't find it racist. Navajo? Who he was with. If they don't find it racist, they at least find it narrow minded and ridiculous.
The president of the Navajo Nation ripped President Trump for referring to Sen. Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas” during a White House ceremony honoring Native American war heroes as “unnecessary” and “culturally insensitive.”
Asked during an interview on CNN if he took Trump’s comments about the Massachusetts Democrat as a slur, Russell Begaye said he did.
“I feel that the way it was used, yes it was. Pocahontas is a real person, not a caricature, not something or someone made up,” he said on CNN’s “New Day.” “This is a person, a young lady, a Native American woman that played a critical role in the life of this nation. And to use that person in that way is unnecessary and is culturally insensitive.”

Wanting to sleep w/ Pocahontas is not racist. Bannon is right on this one.
but it is kinda pervy:
Pocahontas (born Matoaka, known as Amonute, c. 1596–1617) was a Native American[2][3][4] teenager notable for her association with the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. In a well-known historical anecdote, she is said to have saved the life of a captive of the Native Americans, the Englishman John Smith, in 1607 by placing her head upon his own when her father raised his war club to execute him.

Donald Trump claimed that Indian reservations had fallen under mob control. He secretly paid for more than $1 million in ads that portrayed members of a tribe in Upstate New York as cocaine traffickers and career criminals. And he suggested in testimony and in media appearances that dark-skinned Native Americans in Connecticut were faking their ancestry.
“I think I might have more Indian blood than a lot of the so-called Indians that are trying to open up the reservations,” Trump said during a 1993 radio interview with shock jock Don Imus.
White people arguing about what's racist to the red man. This is rich.
Trump attacking and suing tribes has nothing to do with racism, he saw them as a threat to his casinos.
This comment has nothing to do with racism either. He thought he was being funny and actually trying to fit in by making an Indian reference. That right there is the actual issue.

It's telling that you've never had any interest in the truth.
You fucking shill bitch.
