There are some disturbing incidents of people, alleged to by positive for the COVID19 virus, visiting some Native American reservations and spitting at Natives (or their car door handles).
One incident happened at a grocery store on the Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) reservation in NE Nebraska. Four women were asked to leave the store and at least one responded by spitting on the windows and floor. The tribe had to do a deep cleaning of the store. The same women were reported to be involved in another incident at the Omaha reservation.
There are also reports on the Santo Domingo Pueblo that someone is going around spitting on door handles. The tribal government sent out warnings to residents to be very careful when opening their car doors.
It is deeply disturbing and disgusting to see people acting like this right now. But it fits in with the Trumpista attitude of disregard for the dangerousness of COVID and racism.
Indeed there have been reports of some white supremacists promoting spreading the virus in minority communities and LEO offices. I can’t help but wonder if the actions of the women in the Nebraska region and the people behind the Santo Domingo incidents are inspired by the poisonous rhetoric coming out of extremist groups.
