You're the one who showed me the picture of you and whoever the fuck tweeting about me by nickname, on kinja of all places. And of course it took only a handful of minutes for you to reply with regards in all caps and sarcasm. Clearly I'm the one with all the aggression, offense, and problems though. As actions

Native american and german, and wrong on the other count too, as I'm a pansexual buddhist who leans progressive to outright communist in views and really can't stand to even carry on a conversation with most conservatives. Thanks though.

I never said you followed me, I just said you seem to keep a running tally of the comments I make, and you just said as much as that you see my comments all the time and that you've paid them enough notice to cast them all with whatever tone you want to read into them.

No, I don't. I said my husband is Polish, Jewish, and Vietnamese, and that my cousin is half black. I -am- part German though.

Oglala Sioux, Blackfoot, and Cherokee, the first two being from my father's side (he's mostly native, but of two different tribes), the second being from my mother's side, and a much smaller proportion. I wasn't offended. You have every right to be, no one ever said you didn't. I said -I wasn't-, not that no one was.

You're right, I never said it is not offensive to ANYONE. I said it is not offensive TO ME. I think that's a pretty fucking important distinction as you're correcting something I didn't actually say. Maybe correct what I SAID and not the bullshit you read into it next time.

Fair enough, everyone's really free to feel how they feel about things, you know? I just felt the need to interject on my own behalf because honestly I think it's beautiful, and I feel like everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I can't understand the offense over it. It's a beautiful costume on halloween, and

Good to know that you keep a running tally of the things said by someone you've never met on the internet. Must be a slow life.

So are you a native that's telling me this, or someone of another race trying to tell me about how I'm 'betraying my people' from the outside because you think your opinion means the slightest bit to me?

It's happened before, just like whats-his-face above and the quip about my 'snowflake opinions' or 'jorah in a fedora' who's actually followed me across totally unrelated stories to harass me about things, though it was 'evie havok' who's the one who actually pulled out the slurs initially on the other post about

No, it means that saying something is offensive to a GROUP of people is ridiculous, because there will always be people who don't share that sentiment unless it's something particularly egregious/destructive/violent. And as part of that GROUP of people who does not feel that way, I felt the need to voice my feelings

Because there's a mythical monolithic being that is the entire race? I didn't get the memo.

Native blood from 3 different tribes here. And I think it's a beautiful costume.

Touche, I guess? I'm definitely errant emotionally in response to things, but I've both had a close family member die, and had a marriage end, and neither of those caused me to cry. I've had days where I've sat back and thought of an old high school boyfriend and wept at what could have been. I think it's just one of

Not all breakups cause equal devastation. At least for me.

YEEEEEEEEES. Those are my girls. All three of them are so damn funny, and such talented actresses. I would just about die to have been in on that.

Yep, and I'm actually HIGHLY suspicious that her allegations against her father are true, and it was manipulation that got her to recant them to begin with.

Thank you! I'm so tired of people spelling rogue like rouge. Read your work. Spellcheck doesn't correct rouge because it's a different word. :'( The grammar nazi in me wept while reading that.

I like that interpretation of it as well, and it's just as true. I was part of the closed beta for diablo 3, and for tes. I'm a 30 year old native american bisexual woman. I know it's an extreme niche audience, but I point it out because I'm pretty much hitting none of the check boxes on the usual demographics, and

Ha, I took so much shit for that when I posted about it being a ridiculous double standard that Jez was praising Nick Cannon's whiteface but so vehemently decries blackface. Not the least of which was all the people who insisted I -must- be white because of that, which I'm not, I'm native american. Funnily enough
