This is the text of a letter that was left for an urban Indian. This is a great example of the colonizer mindset.
Anytime someone says "I am not racist" you can be sure that the next thing they say will be racist. This particular colonizer is telling this man it is her wish for him to pack up and leave to go live on a reservation. She has absolutely no right whatsoever to tell him to do so. This is the mindset of the colonizer. Doesn't want him living there, doesn't approve of they his daughter dresses and demands change. Hopefully this sheds some light on what I'm talking about when I use the phrase 'colonizer mindset. This is not a left/right issue. This is a colonizer issue. This mindset needs to change.Dear neighbor
I was recently informed that you are not a Mexican, but Indian. I am not racist and wish for all kinds to love and be loved. But I would like to inform you that we citizens of ________ pay taxes to live on this land and you do not. There are Indian reservation held for your people where you are welcome and appreciated. I Kindly suggest, with the best of intentions, that you consider moving back in a place where you really belong.
Also…
I overheard a conversation with my son and his friend and he thinks your daughter is “Cute”. I highly suggest that you tell your daughter not to dress inappropriately as it is confusing my son and possibly his friends. I do not think it is “cute” at all. It is a sin for your daughter to dress this way.
Please tell your daughter if she expresses any interest in my son or any other young man in this neighborhood, that interracial dating or marriage is a sin and is punished by god and highly discourage. I have told the same to my child. She would be better off finding a young man in a reservation who is also Indian, she will be way happier. I believe you would be better you and your family going back to a reservation with your people. For the well being of you and your family.
Sincerely,
A neighbor.
