How New Moon robbed Natives.

This is all good for Spencer and the other members of the Wolf Pack. But consider this: Judging by the Google hits for each of their names, Taylor Lautner is more popular than the four "wolf boys" combined [...]

Lautner's fame should've gone to a Native actor.

Look at the response Lautner got on The Tonight Show. He was perhaps the most popular guest since Conan O'Brien took over the show. He's a star of New Moon, the most popular movie in the country. At the moment he may be the second most popular actor in Hollywood (after Robert Pattinson). No non-Twilight actor--not Will Smith, Tom Cruise, or Tom Hanks--has more eager and enthusiastic fans.

[...] Now imagine if the Jacob Black role had gone to a Native actor instead. This actor would've become the most famous Native actor in the world--more famous than Wes Studi, Graham Greene, or Adam Beach. He singlehandedly would've put Native actors on the map.

People would be clamoring not only to hire him, but to hire actors like him. "The prime teen demographic is swooning over these bronzed Native hunks," producers would say. "Find me more actors like [name of real Native actor, not Taylor Lautner]."

Do you know what the Quileute Nation has received from Twilight? Entitled stalkers.

Oh my god, GET OUT OF MY STATE AND LEAVE THE NATIVE PEOPLE ALONE.

The more I hear about these fucking nutjobs bothering the Quileutes like it's their god-given right as fans or what-the-fuck-ever, the more I want to just ... shit I shouldn't have read any of those links. Now I'm just so fucking mad. THOSE ARE REAL PEOPLE DAMNIT. REAL PEOPLE. Why the fuck can no one see how fucked up that is!?

Yeah, but at least watching that pile up of, uhm, dense Twinhards not getting sarcasm is very amusing.

I know I should be laughing, but I just can't. I may have a very tenuous grip on reality, but I have a very low tolerance for those who CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE AT ALL.
