A Little Math
In the previous post, I said that someone claimed to have seen DNA evidence that 40 to 60 percent of Americans are part Native American and just dont know it. I suggested that may be an undercount.
Out of my immediate relatives -- counting my parents, siblings, ex-husband, his parents, his siblings and all grandkids -- about 9 out of 10 people are supposedly a very small part Cherokee.
My mother was a German immigrant. My mother-in-law is ethnically 100 percent Norwegian because both of her parents were immigrants. They are the only two who aren't part Cherokee.
Both fathers were or are part Cherokee, therefore everyone below that is part Cherokee. And that's still an undercount because some of the grandchildren have kids at this point and I didn't bother to include them.
If your family has been here more than a generation or two and has married anyone "American by birth," I strongly suspect you are probably part Native American and may not know it because people used to be far more racist and it was the norm for anyone remotely White-passing to do everything they could to downplay or deny that they weren't 100 percent Caucasian and lie to the children because children are terrible at keeping secrets.
Many Natives who were part Black were disenfranchised and thrown out of the tribe. Every single "Black American" I have ever discussed ethnicity with has told me they were part White, part Chinese, part Indian (as in the country of India) or something else.
This is tribal peoples cooperating with the genocide by paper of the invading European colonizers who likely stole the concept of democracy from the Haudenosaunee rather than the Greeks. (To be fair, disenfranchising Black Natives was likely done in hopes of protecting themselves from the even worse stigma of "slave because skin color and not allowed to wash it off.")
Even if White Americans are not upwards of 90 percent part Native, I would bet money that upwards of 90 percent are not 100 percent Caucasian.
A search for moors definition gives me this:
If unlike my ex-husband you can't say "Spanish people" five or six different ways, the Iberian peninsula is the land mass that contains Spain and Portugal. That means "Hispanic" and "Latino" -- let's define those:
The terms Hispanic and Latino refer to different aspects of identity:Hispanic: Refers to people from Spanish-speaking countries, emphasizing the language connection.Latino: Refers to people from Latin American countries, focusing on geographical origin.
Those are polite euphemisms for:
Hispanic: Probably part Moorish AKA part African and Middle Eastern.
Latino: Probably part African, Middle Eastern and one or more Indigenous ethnicities of Central and South America.
We gloss over the fact that Hispanic and Latino means you are probably part African and Middle Eastern. Historically in the US, Spanish was deemed to be White while Italian and Irish were not.
Now it's the opposite. Spanish is Hispanic which we totally think has NOTHING to do with being part Black but also isn't "White" anymore. Irish and Italian are now White.
White isn't actually an ethnicity. It's made-up bullshit for "whomever we feel like including in the acceptable people THIS generation."
Footnote
My father was one of five kids. My mother was one of twelve full-blooded siblings (no one ever seems to remember she had a half sibling younger than my sister from her father's second marriage following her mother's death). At least two of her sisters immigrated to the US. The rest remain German Nationals, so even if I counted AMERICAN aunts and uncles, it wouldn't change things that much.
And I don't know how many siblings my mother-in-law had, though my father-in-law had one to my knowledge.
