    It depends on what you are talking about specifically. And what is the difference between Indians getting the same benefits as any other race? If you are talking about gaming/casinos and all of that, that is nothing more than a sound business decision. Reservations for federally recognized tribes (and there are a lot more tribes not recognized by the US than there are that are recognized) are pretty much the land of a sovereign nation within the US. And tribes can do pretty much whatever they want within state and federal laws. Also not all Native Americans get money, and the only way it is possible for people to receive money is to have enough blood quantum to even belong to a federally recognized tribe. Something only Natives have to do: prove how much Indian they are. And you can only belong to one tribe on paper. Not enough blood then you can’t be a part of that trbe. Otherwise everyone with a grandmother that was a Cherokee or Blackfoot princess would be trying to take advantage of these ‘benefits’. In short, there are things happening to Natives directly still. Your tribe has to exist to government regardless of how long it has been there, and you also have to prove to that tribe that you are a part of them. And that tribe might not even be getting those benefits you are talking about. It’s tough.

    Actually, its not Europeans that most Skins have problems with, it’s just the American white people. Europe is awesome, too bad they had to drive all of their hypocritical pariahs across the ocean, haha. Some of us don’t hate white people, at least not that much.
