There’s a smallpox blanket joke in here somewhere…

My co-defendant once again dares to ask the unaskable.

From the comments:

Some years ago I worked “up north” as a teacher and was regularly assailed by my grade 9/10 students over how bad the government treated Aboriginals vs “White Men”.

Their proof was housing. They would look at newspapers from major southern cities and deduce from the Real Estate section that the government was against them because it “gave the White Men much nicer houses than it gave Aboriginals”

My counter argument that the houses depicted in the newspapers didn’t come from the government and had to be purchased was met with incredulity and accusations of lying.
