Ugh! 'Indigenous' scholar resign after being outed as white
An Emily Carr University professor who made a career as an indigenous artist and scholar has resigned after it was discovered she is white.
"Well, I felt kinda Kickapoo one morning so I painted a picture of teepee and they hired me.
"Gina Adams was among a group of faculty hired in a cluster in 2019 as part of a ’commitment to reconciliation, Indigenization and decolonization,'" the Vancouver Sun reported, adding a spokesperson for the Canadian institution released a statement confirming Adams resigned from her tenure-track adjunct professor position Aug. 25.
Dear Emily Carr:
I hereby regretfully resign my position as this morning I feel more Irish than Kickapoo. Love your dress, by the way.
Best Regards,
Gina
"Emily Carr University takes very seriously the allegations that a member of our faculty made a false claim to Indigenous identity," the statement read.
"We thought something was off when we saw the freckles and she couldn't speak Algonquian."
The Daily Mail reported that Adams was born in Connecticut and is actually the "white daughter of Maine pageant queen," but claimed the "idea for her ingenious-inspired artwork came to her in ’dreams,’ courtesy of her Anishinaabeg ancestors."
The idea for lots of things comes to me from my ancestors. I once built a house inspired by one of my Italian ancestors. It leaned to port, and eventually fell over. I once had another idea inspired by one of my Scotch-Irish ancestors, but she slapped me and said no way.
"But internet sleuths dug into her background and found that her grandfather and relatives are in fact white, with no link to Native Americans."
Shoulda said she was part Monacan or Suquehannock. They're all dead now, so who's to say no?

#1 They're so oppressed whiteys are tripping over themselves to identify as them.

#2 Not the first time this has happened. Neither the hoaxers nor the institutions take in by the hoaxes seem to learn.

#5 Well, if they flayed her, then she'd be red...it's a simple and quick solution.

#6 #2 There's nothing to learn when everyone is in on the grift. All there is to keep it going because it furthers the agenda. Actual people mean nothing to these sociopaths.

#7 If there was so much prejudice against people of color we wouldn't have a flood of white folks pretending to be people of color. That's not generally how oppression works.

#8 I grew up in New Hampshire, so that must mean I'm part Algonquin!
