    I’m indigenous in Canada and we pretty much grew up poor in my family. We had enough but we never had a lot to enjoy any luxuries.

    One family in our town had a bit of wealth and they lived very comfortably, the girls looked good and the boys were good looking young guys. They were all older than me so we were in awe of them.

    One of the boys although he was native had a very light complexion with curled hair. He often wore a sweater like that around town and he looked so completely out of place it was almost funny. Except he was popular, built, strong and well known by everyone. He could do whatever he wanted and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

    And to top it all off … he was a dick … just like in the movies.

    Lol
