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.
