 | | Native persian (farsi) speaker here, and neither I nor anyone else in the house have ever heard any of the words listed as persian except for "GHALIDAN" which is listed as "rolling around as lovers do" but really just plain means "to roll" without the extra romantic context. | | | Now, words touted by the native speakers themselves as untranslatable would be fun to see listed. | | | What's interesting to me about this is that both bobfoc and butterface girl are phrases which lose all humour when translated to other languages, and are examples of phrases that will quickly die out. |

| | American President |
| | The plight of Native Americans received renewed attention in the 1920s in the face of the obvious failure of ill-conceived and poorly implemented policies of allotting land to individual Native Americans rather than to tribes. | | | Although Congress granted full citizenship to all Native Americans in 1924, the Bureau of Indian Affairs continued to exert a strict, overly protective power over the tribes much as had been the case in the late 1800s. | | | Also, the federal government denied basic civil liberties to Native Americans regardless of their citizenship status, such as prohibiting the sale of liquor (prior to the Eighteenth Amendment) to any Native Americans. |

| | Were American Indians the Victims of Genocide? |
| | The most hideous enemy of native Americans was not the white man and his weaponry, concludes Alfred Crosby, "but the invisible killers which those men brought in their blood and breath." It is thought that between 75 to 90 percent of all Indian deaths resulted from these killers. | | | It is a firmly established fact that a mere 250,000 native Americans were still alive in the territory of the United States at the end of the 19th century. | | | So far had things progressed by 1784 that, according to one British traveler, "white Americans have the most rancorous antipathy to the whole race of Indians; and nothing is more common than to hear them talk of extirpating them totally from the face of the earth, men, women, and children." |

Asking nonwhites to act white in the workplace is fatal to organizational harmony. | | | In short, what moves the film (and American thought reform) is a denial of individual identity and responsibility, an insistence on group victimization and rights, and the belief that America is an almost uniquely iniquitous place in the world, without opportunity, legal equality, or justice. | | | Elliott has been lionized by the American media, including Oprah Winfrey, and she is widely employed by a growing number of universities. |
