I think that a lot of seemingly "white" people were originally ingenious people. Well, actually it's true that we all were at some point, but I mean more recently as well. Some Natives hid their ancestry and pretended to be white, it's been put on record in some cases.
It's just that there' a lot of dark white people out there and I have a feeling that many of them hid their ancestry at some point, or that it was common for ingenious people to do this. My grandfather wasn't stereotypically ethnic looking and for sure he was at least half white but he always had really dark skin and when I look at photos at him I really wonder what his ancestry was. Also my Grandmother was Metis, which is basically an ingenious person of Canada, but basically the first explorers to North America were the French, looking for an un-colonized land to escape from their oppressive government and when they found the Natives people there, they actually lived with them and started families. They were still considered ingenious because generally they only had like one or two really "french" ancestors but they had their own culture that was a mixture of French there original tribes to celebrate their unique identities I suppose.
So I as well my Grandmother who was Metis married my Grandfather who claimed to be white and they more or less both passed off as being white and I guess I am more or less sort of "white" but who can say! And also my father was adopted, and on his birth certificate or whatever it was, it claimed his mother was German but sometimes I think he must have been an Ashkenazi Jew or something because of his features. Sure, he looked mostly German, but his nose was kind of different. It was not really big, it looked different and as well he had thick black curly hair.
Now that everyone is pointing fingers at America and saying that anyone who is conservative now is a "meth addicted white trash redneck" it makes me sad because the West overall is a huge melting pot and we're all pretty much mutts. I don't think I would be such a mutt if I was from somewhere else.
Uh, all the pointed remarks against white people is a little unsettling though. As I am part Native American and as well grew up next to a large Indian Reservation and honestly, yes they have lots of problems but many of them choose to drink and commit crimes and the like. So of them honestly were given some really nice pieces of land as retribution from the government and yet they seemingly still choose to live in squalor and drink. A lot of Natives seriously cannot handle alcohol. They also choose to live in resentment and bitterness over what happened to them a really long time ago and it's those feelings that kind of fuel a lot of their behavior. I mean they cannot really get over what happened to them.
