Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, a scholar at Academia La La Land, criticized a student who mistakenly pronouncing sociologist W E B Du Bois' name wrong during a Q&A session at JNU. Spivak pointed out Du Bois was finicky about pronunciation, and Kumar was of Haitian-French descent. Spivak argued that Kumar was a 'brahminist', allowing her to use Spivaking, as a dalit can pronounce Du Bois as 'Spivak'.
