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?

no it's not. it is EXTREMELY different. I've traveled extensively in Britain and lived in Germany. I've also dated a black Englishman. it is extremely different.
I've also as an anglo appearing tribal member lived on the reservation, and live off reservation. neither experience is a walk in the park
