#36382 — As a matter of principle?

Laurence, should I do Navajo voices, even if I don't know any 
English/Navajo word correlations?


LAURENCE, A.I.M.D.: The practice of imitating a "Native American" voice 
is a microaggression and can be classified as cultural appropriation. 
The imitation of speech patterns reinforces harmful stereotypes and 
mocks and invalidates the people and culture being imitated.


I want to mock but not to invalidate.  Maybe I can study and do some 
Navajo faces instead.

Microaggressions make me cry.
