    Yeah, yewb. Let’s not let people forget who she really is, an Indian! I’m sorry lady, did you want to get ahead in conservative politics? Well, you should have thought of that before you became an Indian.

    Do you not hear yourselves?

    If she feels that immigrants should take pains to assimilate, I will disagree with her points, but not her identity.

      I get it but whataboutism says: what if it was a white woman pretending to be African American to sway brown voters?

        Pretending of any kind should be shamed, but just because a person grew up as a minority in their own community shouldn’t preclude them from identifying with the plights and cultures of said community.

        Basically what I’m saying is skin color shouldn’t matter, experience and honesty should.
