I don’t know a ton of AI people, but I’ve heard similar experiences.

The white man got one thing right: “Never complain, never explain.”

It’s not uncommon.

Don’t worry about the purity-obsessed. You do you and find Native Americans and/or tribe members less worried about how you look or sound or whatever.

If your hair makes you anxious or feel like it detracts from your identity, why not dye it? Not that you have to, of course, but I don’t think it would be disingenuous if you wanted to present that part of your identity more prominently to the public.

Couldn’t someone not take part in native cultural traditions because their native ancestors chose not to participate and chose not to pass their culture on to their children? Like I have met a few people who have found out they are Eastern European Jews - they just didn’t know it. And this is because their ancestors…

I’m mixed too, so I definitely hear where you are coming from about identity. Not having close relationships with one side of your family doesn’t erase that half of your heritage. It’s not as if you are trying to claim 100% Choctaw heritage... you can be, and are, half Choctaw and half German, and both sides are…

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Goopy is oddly self aware of her snobbery, but gives no fucks and just keeps on steaming her vagina for her golden dildo.

As we know more about her, her brand looks more and more tacky. Tweeting about champagne popsicles on Memorial Day? Tacky. Photo of herself in a ballgown with her baby-faced huckster of a husband’s hand on her ass? Tacky. Daddy is tacky, Stepmommy is tacky, her ghost-written book is tacky. Setting herself up with an…

My parents were very conservative first generation Italian-Americans. Neither finished high school. Both expected me to stay one until Married. Since I started trying to run away from home at age 7, that wasn’t going to happen! I got to college because they didn’t have to pay much (back in the days of nearly free…

As someone with a Jewish mother and an Indian father, I welcome both Holocaust remembrance and British post colonial remembrance art created by British and German artists. The protesters, in this case, should pick another battle.

Because Native Americans have had their culture, lives and land stolen by white people. White people committed genocide against the Native Americans. They get touchy when white people also want to tell their story. Native Americans have pretty much lost all agency. Thats whats offensive to Native Americans about his…

I have a Catahoula and my Lola is the sweetest baby ever. She went to stay with my parents a few years ago while she and her pain-in-the-ass sister were having some ‘issues’ and couldn’t get along. Now, my father won’t let her come home. They go to the trash dump together several times a week and my mom says it’s…

So parents are the best qualified to make decisions for their children, but I cannot make my own decisions regarding my body?

I will forever picture Kate McKinnon’s Jefferson Beauregard Sessions impression where it was said “I’d never forget meeting a fella with gay kiss in his name” in a parody of Forrest Gump. Kate rules!

yeah, our foxy is nobody’s therapy dog - if anything, he should be receiving therapy for his many emotional problems
