Consider this page:

The author certainly makes a bunch of valid points (although I dunno about
the "arrogant and ignorant Brits" being valid or not... :-) )... but
consider whether he's likely to make many converts by berating his
readership. I would tend to think that might not be the best approach.

I believe the author is the late Paula Giese, and she certainly doesn't
make any points with me for her patronizing attitude toward schoolteachers
as well as for her panning of Lynn Reid Banks' Indian in the Cupboard:

One of the issues raised, though, is whether it is reasonable
to suggest as she does (if I interpret her correctly) that only a person
with the proper Native American Indian lineage is equipped to comment
about Native American culture with any legitimacy.

Since that would mean that my wife has standing to comment (at about 1/8
Native American) but I (at pretty much all European) don't... I would tend
to hold it as not reasonable. Else she'll hold it against ME!
