Reply to comment by ax_colleen in First Navajo woman becomes Speaker of the Navajo Nation Council by AudibleNod

i think that can brink on the side of racial fetishism. Not that you're ever going to sexualize them, but seeing one race as "royalty" might turn some heads.

Its great that you respect them, as we all should, but might want to rephrase your statement.

I don't take the royalty statement too seriously if that makes sense.

Yeah I feel you and I figured. I just think that's more of a "keep in my head" thing, and instead just showing a great appreciation might come across a little smoother.

Sorry if this is coming across rude, i just don't want to see you end up being flamed for describing your thoughts elsewhere.

You're right, and I appreciate sharing your thoughts. I should be more careful with cultural context. Thank you.
