Every time I have to fill out some form that asks me what race I am I choose other because German American isn't listed.
Don't use their terms to identify yourself.
I choose Native American, I was born here, my parents were born here, my grandparents were born here... how many generations does it take to be a native?!?!?!?
Really, this is the most sensible view.
There was no "America" when people like the Cherokee, Sioux, Navaho, etc., ruled these lands. America was invented by whites, and whites were the only citizens of the nation until overturned by mandate 100+ years later. Indians might be native to their reservation or tribe, but the only race native to America is white.
And, of course, besides racial categorization - if you were born to America, spent your whole life as American, are not part of some foreign enclave or subculture, it seems like there's a strong argument to be made for you being native.
Ulster Scots have been in Ireland since 1609 but still consider themselves British and thus not native. And a lot of the natives would still like to send the lot of them back to whence they came. So you might have a few centuries to go before qualifying for native status if that’s to be a guide.
I don't think that comparison really matches up.
There is still a Scotland. Ulster Scots are in Scotland, so by saying that they are not native, it is to say that they are not Scottish.
I don't live on Comanche or Blackfoot lands. The countries of those peoples either don't exist anymore, or are relegated to small reservations. I don't remember the last time I saw a "Native American", tbh. I live in a community that is almost entirely white, in a country that is majority white, and that country was founded by white people. I don't live in a reservation, nor the leftovers of Cherokee cities, nor am I part of their culture.
Just as it was before they settled here (or conquered the lands from some other tribe) there aren't "Native Americans" here. It isn't their land. The people born here, descended from those who built this place, are truly native in every meaningful way.
Someone in your family had to have walked here and built a gay tent, and genocided most of the bison.
Fuck. I heard some rustling last night and was sure I saw one of the tents sucking off the other tents. Fucking fag tents.
Damn right Im not straight Im normal
