So this library director at this place who is pretty much exactly like my mother gave me some Turkish thing that needed its content described. Then she came back later and said it was important because the Middle East was her area of expertise and that it wouldn't matter that much if instead it had been Native American.
What the fuck. |

Amen. Redskins belong on the plantations we gave them, not writing books.

Seriously though, never heard of anyone being racist against native americans. _________________ ' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'. |

...nor have I. I've heard it can happen (in the South, of course), but I've never seen or heard of an actual incidence of it.

After she said that I said "Wow, that's harsh." She backpeddled a little bit but she doesn't know I'm Native American. I told the student who was working at the desk afterwards, though. The whole thing was pretty funny. |
