Mariah Watchman got voted off American's Next Top Model last night. Sadface, right? We didn't even have a chance to see how many racial microaggressions she would have to endure over the course of the season! I haven't watched the episode, but Indian Country Today did a quick recap here, if you're interested. But I have something more interesting to share.
Last night I was perusing twitter as the show was on, and truly just by chance caught this convo between a reader of Native Approps and Nigel Barker himself:
Her next tweet was a link to my ANTM post from a few days ago:
I decided to screenshot the whole thing so I could share on Facebook, and I'm glad I did, because magically this morning, all of Nigel's tweets had been deleted. Does that mean Nigel *read* my post? And maybe learned something about how his behavior and the choices of the show were incredibly insensitive? I really, really hope so. Or he could have acted out of embarrassment.
Either way, kinda interesting, right? I'll tweet this post to him and see if he responds--though I'm not holding my breath.
Oh, and Nigel, if you read this, I'm a little sorry I said I wanted to throw my remote at your face in the other post. I'm usually a pacifist.
If you missed the original break down of ANTM:
Oh ANTM, where do I even start?: Mariah Watchman and the Pocahontas controversy
