You forgot that all^H^H^H some of us consider Lautner white too.
Yup, Boo Boo (god, writing out his name pains me every single time) Stewart is not Native. But is there a specific reason for doubting Julia Jones's claim that her father is/was Chickasaw?
To clarify, I've got no vested interest in Jones's ethnicity, just curious.
Anon 1, care to try fixing that comment? It was kind of mangled in the middle.
It's not mangled. It's a meme. In the old days, word processors would use ^H to indicate deleting a character and ^W to indicate deleting a word. So think of it as the equivalent of the "funny strikethrough", where the strikethrough is what you're REALLY thinking, and the non-strikethrough is what you're politely saying.
The funny strikethrough isn't any better. Why not just present it in a meaningful way?
