Writer Claims Ann Cannot Be "Native American"

    On Sunday, November 8, 2015, Christie Poitra wrote a piece about why Ann is wrong to claim the status of a Native American.

    First off, Ann, for the past year or two, has been speaking primarily on the topic of immigration (and this is what Ann is discussing when she makes the claim she is Native American). Here is a question for Poitra: "While discussing immigration, we call immigrants 'immgrants.' What should we call non-immigrant Americans?" The easiest thing to say is "Native American" (which happens to be a grammatically correct designation.) Ann has been saying she's a "Native American" for months and using the term to mean "non-immigrant American." It's pretty simple to comprehend.

    Poitra destroys her own argument when she quotes the interview:

"Padma Lakshmi: “That’s not a Native American...”

Ann Coulter: "No, if you mean Indian...""

    That settles it.


    Now let's continue with a nonsensical quote of Poitra:

"The core of Coulter’s argument against immigration... is that there exists two classifications of immigrants, (1) the early settlers that predate the United States, and (2) everyone else."

    Ann never said that and in no way means or implies that she thinks that.


    By the way, Dictionary.com says that "native" means:

"...1. being the place or environment in which a person was born or a thing came into being: one's native land."

...and...

"6. born in a particular place or country..."

    Perhaps there are "Native Americans" and "native Americans."
