This is what passes for ‘humor’ in The New Yorker:
Donald J. Trump’s use of the name “Pocahontas” at a White House event honoring Navajo veterans was not a racial slur, a prominent white expert said on Monday.
“If some Native Americans were offended by the use of this term, I’m sorry that they’re so wrong,” the expert said. “As a white person, I think I’m in a better position to know about this stuff.”
An ad hominem fallacy fuels this satire, namely, that the one’s ethnicity (if white) a priori abnegates one’s ability to argue against POC Identity Politics grievance porn.
Sad!
