Attitudes about this case may include people not believing that Dustin should qualify for ICWA, due to the fact that he's only 2% Native American. Furthermore, he may not be a suitable father for Veronica considering the fact that he didn't even take time to read the documents he was signing to give away his rights to the child, and wasn't present as a figure in her life like the adoptive parents were. Also, many people may have visions of Dustin being financially unstable, and unable to support his child, due to the fact that he's a Native American, when in reality, he doesn't follow the basic idea of a Native in that sense. He doesn't live on a reservation, is financially stable, and is a fairly modernized man.
