I have a tiktok account where I pretty much actually like all my trans/tris and pema ids are fully real / seen (tangible? idk, I do keep it socially normal cuz yeah.. ppl get weird).
but I saw a native women saying something related to the effect of "oh the white girl CLAIMING she's native" with the caption being something like "then she says she's 20%"...
I'm sorry to break it to you, but 20% of 100, is a lot for anything... then their were also people hating on people saying they were Cherokee & accused them of lying, and said they were just white people trying to act special.
and even got mad when other natives mentioned how what they were saying was fundamentally very close to how colonizers tried to 'breed out' native American genes (I say in quotes because that genuinely is such a disgusting concept that sadly did and honestly still does exist).
their were also people explaining how they either looked more white then other family members or were accused of being white despite being over 50% native.. just for others to fake claim them and be so rude..
it's so sad, I know that because I'm not cis native American (at least not to my knowledge, I've never done a genetic/DNA/ancestor test) I don't feel like I have the right to say much, but it's still so sad that people are trying to make others feel bad because their not "XYZ" culture enough.
because yes, sadly in multiple cultures they will never see you as enough :( & that is literally what British colonizers would do, they'd try to make the kids 'less native' (again quotes, because it's disgusting that it was a real idea in history).
