I know what you’re getting at. That thing about low intelligence people being unable to understand hypotheticals. However the person my friend was talking to was a writer. Granted, he was a gay writer, in that he was gay and wrote only gay stories about gay people doing gay things. Still, you’d think a writer can wrap his head around the concept of an imagined scenario. I think it was more that he just couldn’t tolerate presenting Native Americans as anything other than peace loving treehuggers who were beaten down by the white man.
I guess it's something Disparu mentions repeatedly in the last couple of months. The 'writer' most certainly cannot imagine things that don't align with his 'lived experience', so everything has to bend to his worldview. He probably couldn't write a normal sex-scene right after watching porn of it.
His lived experience is that native americans are poor victims (actual reality might disagree with that but it's what has been hammered into his brain for ages), so there is no way they cannot be victims.
