There are so many moments in this book where she mentions people treating her like this ‘dumb girl’ from North Korea and I’m struggling to see her any other way if this is genuinely what she thinks America was founded upon. Please, read one single book about Native American history and try and claim this as true

Chapter 1: Yikes, has she really just compared the belief that it’s okay to choose your own pronouns to the fantastical belief imposed by the Kim dynasty that 1 + 1 doesn’t equal 2?
