As if it's their fault for being offended.

That would be correct.

Anybody who takes offense at the MLA's statement should consult with a shrink.

If he had instead said “voter turnout in these communities is low” he would have been fine. It’s phrases like “these people” or “you people “ usually followed by some sort of judging statement that get politicians in trouble

I guess he's learned his lesson.

Don't speak the truth or start a discourse about a problem because, in today's society it'll be misrepresented and used as political fodder no matter the original intent was.

I guess it shows that when it comes to the indigenous peoples in Canada, it's much better to keep your mouth shut and leave the victim status quo intact rather than to try and find a solution to the problems.

Oh, we're trying to find solutions, while you moan and gripe about how hard done by white males are.

would be crying and wailing about "these communities" as being racist or something.
