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.
Most American comment.
Thanks. You seem to like us enough to comment a lot.
Glad to help you in your "pursuit of Happiness" 🙂
Is that what you think your doing?
Hey, your mum here, sorry you had to find out like this, but you're adopted
I always knew you were too mean to stay dead.
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.
The amount I have is very very small. So much that I do not claim it. Its not like I can prove it since the records of it were destroyed.
