question to dear Ethnic :)
Are Whites with any Native backgrounds still White? all those White saying a have a drop of Native blood in me.. are they Mestizos.:S I’m pretty sure they are not N of Native but let dream how Native they are.. don’t know what’s cool on being Native.. only to be MORE American xD? thanks in advance.. hope you’ll answer ;)
I have** sorry for the mistake xD
I’ve got much mistakes.. my keyboard had a bath xD so it’s not working as it should.. sorry again
no none white means none white. if you have native american in you, no matter your skin color.. you are not white but a Mestizo. if that weren’t the case most light skin Hispanics would be considered white..
Doubt the Cherokee
I’m 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000% sure she is not Cherokee..:S just another White family which claims to have 0.0000000000000001% Native in them.. silly and stupid..! I’m pretty sure that all those Whites who say they have one drop of Native blood in them in case DON’T.. they should go to do the DNA test and they would be surprised to see that they are not evev 0.00000000001% White..!
I’m sure she does have Cherokee in her. Cause first of all she’s country and in native Americans were mostly found in the South until the whites came. So I’m sure she could have like a percentage of native american in her. Plus her head is kind of shaped like one. it’s round and kind of flat. My friend’s from texas and she’s white and 20% native American because one of her ancestors had children with a Native American slave. You should research more..
Look at her nose. It is very Native American.
What is a Native American Nose? Not all of them have the same nose. Some Natives have sharper pointier noses than some White Americans I have seen. What are you talking about?
Native Americans were all over the United States of America! You should do some more research as well!
