“I wonder if it’d also be seen as particularly whitty to write about someone who ‘identifies’ as a black woman with ‘yessem’ and other movie portrayed ‘slave speak’?”

It’s called satire. Yes it would be equally witty, just like Hillary’s “Ain’t no ways tarred.” Plenty of examples of making light of others’ dialect. Fuggedaboudit. I don’t think that raises the PC needle too much, as the left so enjoys making fun of southern accents.

Yep, figured that someone would call that pile of crap 'satire' and then throw the snowflake PC flag on the observation.

Since that's NOT the dialect of any American Indian I know of, in or out of my family, I'm going to also call your equation absolutely bull too. It was entirely made up for fictional portrayals in books and movies to make Indians appear uncivilized.

But bless your heart anyway.
