SLATE answers
Why is there another person pretending to be Native American in a memoir? Why can't people just market it as fiction?
In the case of "Margaret Jones," the outrage seems to be because she did it after so many others were caught. Why more people don't include Nasdijj/Timothy Barrus in the lineup of horrible imposters who feel the need to steal the ethnicity of other people is beyond my comprehension!!!
