or some even if they have less than 1% native american ancestry, say they are "native americans. dude, your white asf, you dont even practice or even research thier history.
My wife does this and it kinda bugs me. I have some Native American ancestry, but I don’t know who it was, my family hasn’t been carrying down tribal traditions. So I wouldn’t claim that I am partially Native American. I’m a white dude stuck on stolen land, claiming a birthright to their heritage is just an attempt to steal the last fucking thing Native Americans have been allowed to keep.
It’s probably because they’ve heard the “one drop” rule. The part where you said practice and research history needs to/should be highly prevalent to claim that though.
I’ve never seen that. In my experience the worst racism comes from those who have some non white heritage. I have seen whites ashamed they had some Native American blood. Like most of my family from two generations back were very ashamed of it. Of course it used to carry a stigma back in the early twentieth century. Its was the family rumor that a couple of my great uncles I never met were responsible for the local county courthouse burning down. All to erase the past by burning all the birth records. You can’t look at any of the surviving pictures of my great grandfather on my mothers side without seeing he had a huge amount of native american blood. On my fathers side my grandfather had a year round tan and jet black hair until it fell out that everyone commented on like it was amazing.
I am however extremely Irish in complexion if not all of my facial features. Proof against one my mothers many bigoted remarks. ‘You can’t mix it white again’. I’m proof that you can.
I’ve seen a bunch of white people say that whites are Native American, like you have to be forcefully stupid to believe some of the shit they spin.
Isn’t that just Mormonism?

I’d be so proud if I had some Native American ancestry. I’m just boring Anglo-Saxon and French, and we only found out about the French part recently.
Most American comment.
Thanks. You seem to like us enough to comment a lot.
Hey, your mum here, sorry you had to find out like this, but you’re adopted
I always knew you were too mean to say dead.
