Preference. I didn’t read the two white men as I first posted cos I still stan a lot of pic homosexual couples and straight couples but honestly it just comes down to how they relate to each other in the series to why I stan/otp them.

Fandom’s “preference“ for shipping white men together isn’t something magically shared by a bunch of individuals with absolutely no societal influence. This is not even considering most slash-shipping is often fetishistic and not written with mlm as the audience. Most male slash shipping is done by mostly straight girls and women, so how much can they really elate to gay men...

Fandom has a preoccupation with whiteness and that stems from the inherent racism within fandom. Heck, fandom would ship pedophilia between a white man and boy before they pair either of them with a man of color. 

Regardless of your personal preferences, this happens in the majority of fandom, so this is not new an it’s been documented by fans of color for years.

They portray the Native Americans in a positive light, showing their humanity, but go off I guess

Yeah, and they also try to make a redemptive story for a colonizer (who was a notorious liar, whom Matoaka called out for his lies), misrepresent history, and sexualize Matoaka, who was a child at the time.
