Hmmm, should all of us do this, Kathi? This seems an unnecessary
challenge to Robert ... I'm not sure what qualifications are valid for
raising ethical concerns about anthropology ... should only
anthropologists do this?

One step towards "decolonizing" anthropology (from the inside) could be
to accept criticism as presented without regard to source, yes?
