That 80's commercial was also suppose to have been promoting how we need to be more aware of the environment and not litter.

And your little comment on 'claim percentage' crap dosent apply to me. My mom and dad were full blooded. So nya!

Yeah... I think everyone who watched it, got that, as it was a clear message.

Why so defensive? You already stated you're "Oneida Iriquoise".

Sorry, I've just had so many people retort with the 'oh you mean your PART indian?' crap and I guess it's happened enough that I automatically get defensive about my heritage.

I'm proud of who I am.

But thinking deeper on the subject of heritage...I bet if I went far enough back on my geneology I'd find an european settler that married into the family.

Would that be wierd to claim 'part white' ? O_o lol

We prefer the term Caucasian-American.

The reason people assume you're only "part Indian" is because there are very few of "you people*" around. That and many people claim to be some % of Indian, regardless of factuality.

Well there are quite a bit of 'us people' around. You just dont see us around much cause native american's tend to stay on their reservations to avoid descrimination by those that are ignorant towards others whom are different.

There's no such thing as a "caucasian".

This was also something made up by whites as well.

It's Similar all whites/White Civilzation being related to the Greeks.

Or Ancient Egyptians being "Mediterranean" and not of African origins along with a looooooooooooooooooooooong list of other lies backed by pseudo-science. doped

Just b/c you don't like the definition of a term doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Caucasian is a term invented by whites, just like "airplane" or "train" or "building" or "skyscraper", but no one is stating that SIMPLY b/c it was invited by a white person, it therefore, doesn't exist. I think they have a right to define themselves (as I feel that people have a right to do that). The terms exist because there was an enlightening point in history in which (the intellectual mind of that time) their minds understood the difference, once they understood the difference, they tacted on a term for it after they studied it and are still studying it, it's the same way the intellectual class respondes to anything, they notice a difference, and study it's character and then, label or classify it. However, they have LEARNED and we have LEARNED to be a bit slower at classifying people the same way we do "things" or "abstract" ideas.

Ancient Egyptians were of different races, depending if it's the northern or southern part of Eygpt.

Pseduo-science is more like Phrenology, and that in itself has some elements of fake "science" but not all of it, the fact that not all of it passes the scientific theory makes that part "pseudo".

So . . . you deny the existance of race but still advocate that white people have something wrong with them due to race?

Mind finding the quote supporting that? Just feel like I missed that part.

The white people have something wrong with them? All the stuff he spouts about white guilt.

The denying race? I think I already quoted that.

When did I advocate something was wrong with any group based on "race"? 😆

"This was also something made up by whites as well."

"long with a looooooooooooooooooooooong list of other lies backed by pseudo-science."

The kind of Caucasian I was thinking of was the word spurned from Caucazoid. Which referes to one of the three major bone structures for humans, Caucazoid, Mongaloid and Negroid.

Here's a fun article. I always find biological reports like this interesting. Cause they're from an unbiased stand point and only state the scientific facts.
