More stupid Native American stereotyping: savage, primitive, and this sentence that's probably the 12th thing she's ever said to him... "The first time I saw you, I thought you should be wearing a headband, like your ancestors." (Which is true, the first time she saw him and BEFORE she'd even decided he wasn't Japanese, she pictured him fierce and in braids...) And the author moves on, NO reaction to that garbage.

So far this is not going well. We have two workplace professionals whose emotions don't seem to be attached, much less controlled by, reason, despite everything they say to themselves and each other. This seems to be a problem with the writing rather than unreliable narrators. Also, the male MC is Apache-- and the female MC describes him with a bunch of stereotypes literally STARTING with savage. Come on.
