Him speakum big truth.
No, derogatorily referring to a person who falsely claimed to be a Native American as Pocahontas is not a racial slur. It demeans no racial or ethnic group.https://twitter.com/Acosta/status/935244584451440640 …

So by this logic, if you called Rachel Dolezal the "N" word, you believe no one should be offended? I don't think that's how racial slurs work.

That's absurd. Pocahontas was her NAME. The 'N' WORD is used by racists as a slur. Warren is being shamed for faking her heritage, claiming to be American Indian as Pocahontas, because "look at my high cheek bones". It's despicable to compare the name Pocahontas w/ the 'N' word.

An intentional misappropriation for personal benefit. Not a slur in either direction - her use or his exposure of Warren.

Come on,
@Acosta. If a REAL Native American (like my wife) was referred to as Pocahontas, that would be a racial slur. Lizzy's NOT! P.S. My wife was NOT offended!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
