So I was curious and looked up some numbers. Rihanna is the 8th best selling artist of all time worldwide. Her sales are more than Beyonce and Jay-Z combined.
Super Bowl? Never heard of her.

You’re a white man who lives in England who has no grasp on these issues.
So much this. Honestly, a person could be 100% Indian by blood but not truly be “native.” Sure, there would be the general stigma of being a brown person in this country, but a person’s genetic makeup has so very little to do with their Indian-ness.
Wwll, considering there are also records of her family being discriminated against due to this lineage....
She didn’t apologize to the Brown campaign nor did she apologize to anybody else that tried to use it as an attack on her status.
To be fair, you can’t lump everyone in together, either. Some native Americans have a different take:
Yep, the people talking about how Warren is simply doubling down have done zero research on the last few years and in fact totally ignore her efforts to respect the difference between heritage and cultural carve outs. Frankly, the people who are up in arms now on the left make me remember we’re herding cats and the…
You do realize in 2012 she did A. Now she’s doing B because clearly A didn’t do enough for the jackasses.
If, on my college application, I answered the ethnicity question by checking both “Caucasian” and “Jewish” in some attempt at thoroughness or nostalgia at my heritage, and the first time it came up was 20 years later when some asshole came at me saying that I was lying and that I only did it to gain some advantage,…

Yes, it is true as I participated in that discussion as it seems that you still are missing the point and the bigger picture while you seem to have fallen for the distraction hook, line, and sinker.
Damn, this identity thing is really complicated.
I think you misunderstood the criticism.
Seriously. The other side is ok with voting for rapists and kid fuckers.
100% THIS. What is all this bullshit nonsense...so you’re not going to support her BUTTTT keep bitching about Trump?! Right...and Hillary isn’t progressive enough....
Im sort of in the same boat. One side of my family tree is definitely from Europe. Whether they were Jewish or not is one giant question mark. What I do know is they hated Nazis and fireworks.
If you actually had read or understood those comments, they were all saying it is was damned if she did or didn’t. It doesn’t matter if she were 1% or 100% Cherokee, they’ll still scream and shout at her anyway because Trump and the GOP don’t care about the facts and truth. This was less about “shutting up” Trump and…
I think it depends on the tribe. I have in-laws that are legit card-carrying Native American tribal members with 5/128 native blood.
