Ol’ Dirty Rez Dog

Okay. I hear you. The other people you've been arguing with today agree with that. They don't like pretendians either. I don't think the OP is a pretendian. Can I just stop for a second, I was about to call you a disrespectful thing and I apologise. I'm frustrated because -

- I feel like you aren't giving anyone here the benefit of the doubt? And I feel like the real tragedy here is is that you have privilige because you are a journalist who gets paid probably some amount of money for your contributions, and this person youve been arguing w/ is poor

So what exactly is pushing you to fight this poor person so hard on this and "prove that he is a pretendian" when you have no proof? This seems to compromise your journalistic integrity here, and @thedailybeast may not feel very kindly about it tbh...

Right like why she want him to b non native so bad

Yeah, it feels like a point that she is pushing, this doesn't feel like there is any kind of inquisitiveness here. I'm honestly wondering how she got her job and how can I get paid for this cause man if they hire people with such a lack of scientific curiosity, and pushes opinion

This is the second time recently I've encountered a person in the academic field from Portland recently who is behaving is such a completely unprofessional manner. Whats the deal

I've patiently over and over again why asking anonymous Twitter accounts if they are actually Native or not is necessary. Fraud is pervasive, even on Twitter. When someone promotes policies that harm Native people I will ask who they really are.

Jacqueline I hear you and I agree with you. You are one person. There are probably between 10K to 100K fake accounts out there pretendian to be natives, and you're gonna give yourself a brain anyeurism trying to fight every single one of them individually.
