Taylor, who is white, notices his Navajo friend, Kai, wearing a turquoise and silver necklace. "That's pretty, but I hope you didn't get it at Urban Mercantile. They've been selling lots of Native American-type jewelry, but I'm sure you'd want to support Native artists, not chain stores. Nobody should shop there." Is Taylor offering helpful information?
O Yes, he's demonstrating his cultural sensitivity and has good intentions.
O Maybe, if Taylor is a Native American Studies major, and the necklace is a knockoff.
O No, Taylor is being condescending and could lose his friend's trust.
