Do you even know what "Indian Giving" means?

It's a slur that all Native Americans are thieves, who will go back on gifts and agreements, because (as the slur goes, incorrectly) they are too stupid and backwards to understand the concept of property.

If that's the first time anyone's ever told you that's racist, it's probably because you're the kind of person who responds to being told by calling someone "woke," then compares it to a fart joke, and tries to talk down to other people from what you imagine is a position of moral superiority, and nobody spends the time on you anymore.

It's a criticism, made on the basis of ethnicity. Of course that's racism. How have you gotten to a point in your life where you can't see that?
