+1. I have multiple/many friends about as white as it gets who will confidently tell you they have Native America blood. Who knows? Maybe some of them do. Either way it ain’t much more than Warren was shown to have. But that won’t stop them from talking about it every chance they get - like you said, it definitely…

“I’d rather see Edward Scissorhands for a pap smear” is my go-to.
My bio dad told my mom that his father had 1/2 Chippewa blood. And she had no reason to doubt him especially based on his coloring. My entire life I was told I was 1/8 NA. Until 2019 and a DNA test showed absolutely nothing.
They should just change to title to either the White House’s Fox Liaison or the Ambassador to Fox Nation.
Not just White America. Claiming Native ancestry was HUGE in the Black community, especialy in the 80s and early 90s when I grew up. Every single friend I went to school with was *insert % here* Native, and it was almost always Cherokee, probably because we couldn’t name any other tribes. Had nothing to do with…
It’s driving me crazy that this is being framed as lying. It’s uncritically repeating a family myth, and yeah, it is very common in white families in the US. It’s practically a cliche. It’s certainly a blind spot she revealed, but she’s also apologized and made a real effort to learn from it. It’s NOT dishonest.
Yes, that’s was part of the “that’s not how this works” conversation. Mom of a teenager brag: this was after we left the gyno’s office where she was given the patch because she failed spectacularly at taking the pill. She’s not sexually active, but it’s important to establish a birth control routine long before she…
Fascist? I don’t want to risk promoting your stupid ass comment so I’ll just post this screen shot and kindly request that you go fuck yourself.
And if that is ALL the scandal that you can apply to a 70 year old woman running for president; the she is gold.
There is a fascinating 2009 documentary called Cinema’s Exiles: From Hitler to Hollywood (available at TCM). Essentially, in the 1930s, the whole German (and occupied) film industry hemorrhaged talent to Hollywood, each with his/her own level of success. Peter Lorre was one of the first to leave, having just become a…
Derp State, more like it.
Same here too. My grandmother insisted we’re native because someone four tiers up on the family tree had a Hopi aunt or something. We are pale, chubby, bald people as a whole. Zero chance of that being true.
My friend commented today that the most shocking piece of information she found out about Lev Parnas was that he was born in 1972. She assumed he was in his 60s (as did I, after I googled him). That is a hard 47.
In black America too. That’s where your cousins got their “good hair” and “high cheekbones.”
can we just STOP including WH Press Sec Grisham in ANY story. What the FUCK purpose does she serve other than to shovel Trump horseshit? She’s the Bagdad Bobette with none of the ironic humor.
And not a SINGLE toothbrush in sight. God damn.
