I’m Native American and some whites don’t think I’m American.

I’m as white as they come, moved to AZ for a bit and was ASTOUNDED by the number of people who think New Mexico is on the other side of the border or that every brown tinted person is clearly Mexican, despite like half of th state being Res territory. Now I’m in UT where the Utes are mostly a sports mascot

The fact that Reservations exist at all is a slap in the face, maybe this time instead of the Canadians yall burn down the White House, just sayin

Native also, I 100% got profiled by a white cop in a small town I went fishing in last fall. Got pulled over and he was surprised I wasn't Mexican, fuck him.

Fuck da whites! We are in this together brother! Stand up and fight any ally is widely accepted.

Dude I worry about this so much. I'm not only native but I work in the construction industry and hauling all my ladders around in my tools around on my truck I'm so waiting for ice to roll up on my ass I'm going to have to get enough fight with them.

Same bro I work in the mining industry and so many people here are so happy about the ice raids even older natives are excited about it. What is really concerning is that puppy killer Kristie said last year before the 4th of July that natives should lose their status and there tribes.

This last week they tore down all of the plaques from Little bighorn

That is fucking bullshit.

This is actual "logic" my boss once used on this topic.

Native Americans arnt real Americans because they have native in front of them. Why would you need a different word to describe them if they were real Americans?

He's Mexican, came over illegally and married into citizenship basically.

He also votes hard right maga and might be the dumbest man I've ever known.

You might be talking about an uncle of mine. You've described him perfectly. I feel your pain ✊

Some of those whites have guns and "absolute immunity"

Native Americans are being swept up by ICE
