America mocks and dehumanizes natives at every turn

Let's be absolutely clear about something here: Whatever else may have been said about it or our country's reactions to it, the racist disrespect of Nathan Phillips, a Native American elder, by Nick Sandmann and his MAGA-hat clad classmates of Covington Catholic High School at the Lincoln Memorial is nothing new. In fact, it's quite the common thing. In this increasingly depraved society, that kind of behavior is often encouraged or excused as just good ol' American fun.
