  Was she like “Well I can’t blame the Aboriginals, that would make me racist!”

    Well, she is indigenous. But apparently is still willing to throw other minorities under the bus to avoid responsibility.

      Sure she is, just like Elizabeth Warren is a Cherokee Princess.

        I don’t think that questioning her indigenous status here is helpful. Whether that was rightly or wrongly applied as a mitigating factor in her sentence for this particular crime, it’s likely that inter-generational disadvantage played a role in her life. Not an excuse for killing an old guy due to negligence in my opinion though.
