Using the phrase "playing the race card" is itself an attempt to deflect, some folks seem to just reflexively throw that out there ANY time race gets brought up.
Racial prejudice is still very much a thing no matter how bad you want to pretend it isn't.
Wab's dad was a residential school survivor. He was abducted as a child, separated from his family and community and raised by an institution. His first child was born while he was in the school and was taken from him. So he grew up angry and he drank. He passed those things down to Wab. If you wanna dumb all that down to "he's a criminal" then I don't know what to tell you. Being totally ignorant of history and context doesn't really lead to good decision-making.
Most people in jail end up spiraling downward to oblivion. Ultimately Wab looked in the mirror and decided to do better. That takes a lot of strength and character. 95% of PC candidates have spent their whole life in comfort, it doesn't take a lot of strength or character to succeed when you have nothing to overcome.
