She acts like they just burned sage, were "one with the earth", and lived like a bunch of innocent children on a happy playground.
Out of compassion I just keep my mouth shut when she says a bunch of goofy things to people of other races trying to apologize for the fact that she was born white and all white people are evil.
The funny thing is that "minorities" face the challenges of being marginalized in society because of their birth heritage which they had no control over... but the self loathing white person intentionally tries to marginalize themselves while at the same time selfishly enjoying living under white privilege. And they usually wind up saying some very condescending things to people of other races unintentionally because they are only seeing the world through caucasian colored goggles while trying to "understand" what other people are going through.
"enjoying living under white privilege"
Most of the privilege they think they're living under is an illusion, that's how warped people like that really are, apologizing for something there's nothing to apologize for in the first place.
