[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So disturbing to read about another white settler, Elizabeth Hoover (professor at UC Berkeley, attended Brown) who based on some family lore pretended to be indigenous, cosplays being indigenous, benefits academically being indigenous.

The Cal student paper published the story back in Nov but it is getting a lot of media coverage this week

Why are you so disturbed OP? That’s an odd choice of words. I mean, I bet you could have seen yourself supporting Elizabeth Warren, right?[/quote]
I am disturbed because I am not white, my husband isn’t white, and my kids aren’t white. It’s not cool white people benefiting from being non-white. Sometimes it really sucks not to white both in the US and abroad. I have never supported Elizabeth Warren. [/quote]
DP
it’s arguably better to be not white in the US than white in an underdeveloped country
I don’t think anyone should benefit from either being white or non white tbh [/quote]

Lol maybe in SA[/quote]
