Why not just ASK US NATIVES what we think and what we KNOW about the subject
So basing off what you just said all races on this earth doesn't know about their own story and culture because not everyone is a scientist?
Are you saying that Native Americans are dumb? That they have no clue about their very own existence?
My elders would tell you different
Because it's very hurtful to put a title on someone....
Me? And only me?? I said before I spoke with my Native American family and all of them agreed that we didnt decend from Asia
have you ever asked a Native American before of what they think? No of course you wouldn't and many people don't and that's apart of the problem
It's not an issue when it comes to being labeled Asian it's an issue if you dont take into consideration of what the actual people you are talking about have to say for themselves so yes of course I'm going to say something because this is about my people after all
SO does that make Irish descendants of Germans because they look similar? NO...
Yes You are right but I wasn't claiming anything I was only using Caucasians for an example when comes to appearance I also used East Inidans having dark skin just like Native Americans I was simply using this as an example that you cannot "judge a book by its cover"
I understand completely of what you're trying to say and you're right it's definitely not a big deal but I don't think things should just be stated without having a debate about the issue I really don't care if people are categorizing I just want the truth to be told because it seems everyone knows something about my people that my own people don't know about themselves and that's what really gets me because then anyone could say anything about Native Americans and others would believe it
Because Native Americans are not necessarily all scientist and researchers?

Or maybe you are just too sensitive? Why in the world would you care so much are labeled as Asian?
What is the difference?
