I have lived in Britain though, where things are largely the same, only with a slightly different ethnic mix and Islam playing a greater role. There's nothing unique about a small but vocal interest/pressure group getting away with murder, and milking all the wrongs allegedly being done to them for all their worth. It can be anything really: race, sex, religion, stance on abortion or animal testing, political views, you name it - and on a scale from a huge nation to a small business or a tiny village. But if I am completely misguided in my views about the race issue in America, I'm sure someone will be kind enough to correct me. Perhaps Mr Alexie was after all taken to task for his outrageous remarks, and nobody bothered to tell me?
