I really like the way the speaker is frankly calling out
white men on the way they act with everything. They treat their women as
property and silence them when they want to speak; they don’t care about other
cultures as people and could uncaringly kill other people without a second
thought about it. I like that the speaker sticks up for the women even though
they are white women because they are both oppressed in similar ways. But I
think my favorite part is the way the speaker uses Christianity to prove a
point against white men. The Bible says that we should love everyone equally as
brothers and sisters (seemingly without regards to ethnicity, gender, or
sexuality). Basically the speaker is saying “well if you’re such a great
Christian then why don’t you see me as equal to you?” and I think this is a great
question for them to pose. So for discussion, do you think the Indians
sympathized with white women and were sort of on the same side as them because
they were both being silenced or do you think they still held some grudge
against the white women because they were still of the white race?
