It’s always white women. Usually college educated white women in fact.

She isn't bad for a leftist professor, but you can't check off "Indian" in your logbook.

One of the most surprising things from that video was that “brown” wasn’t capitalized too. We all know white ain’t gonna be.

She looks injun enough to me and I can say that as I’ve got a picture of my great grandfather wearing a headdress

Are people doing this to get an advantage in the hiring process?

Yes, liberal arts departments and others will practically trip over themselves to hire an Indian. Thats like hitting a yahztee in the diversity hire olympics.

Hence why these chicks will risk it all and give up that coveted white privilege to do it.

Begging people to believe you're an "oppressed minority" because being seen as white is embarrassing and detrimental to your life goals is too much irony to bear.

I have far more sympathy for this woman's situation that I do for Elizabeth Warren. This woman was actually lied to by family. Anyone would have believed it.

The problem I have here is no one tried to verify it when she was hired and heralded as a Native American professor.

Nah. Millions of Americans have that 'Cherokee princess' family folklore but don't LARP hate whitey and Dolezal their appearance.

She 100 percent did this to advance her career and claim oppressed minority status and is scapegoating the family story bs for sympathy

They are accusing Hoover of being a 'pretendian,' or a white person who falsely claims to have Indigenous ancestry in order to profit.


I'd like to highlight the fact that in order to be pissed at this they must all implicitly acknowledge that there is in fact profit to be made merely for possessing a non-white identity, which flies in the face of their entire "white privilege" narrative.

If you can't prove something then that's not anyone else's problem.
