i think if a person is of mixed euro-indian descent its "okay" by most standards to refer to them as native american or american indian
If you think this is true, I suggest you try asking random Mexican people if they are Mayan. See how that goes for you.

Even better is to do something like, say, go up to someone from Sonora and say "So you're from Zacatecas, right?"
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 11 January 2013 20:26 (eleven years ago) link
Go to someone from, I dunno, Chiapas or Oaxaca and say "You all do mariachi music down there, yeah?"

No results found for "i'm taino btw".

all I'm saying is that a lot of people of mixed euro/indian descent do not identify as "native american" and would not be "okay" with being labeled native american.

The Aristotelian penchant for categorization and sub-categorization always breaks down at some point before reaching a satisfactory system of division.

lol okay it was Mordy and Aimless i was mad at after reading the first half of this thread. i don't know if i'm one of the ilx posters Mordy was referring to, but i am def self-righteous and likely bask in the pieties he was referring to as well.

i don't think "mayan" and "american indian" are the same thing hurting!
― max, Friday, 11 January 2013 20:55 (eleven years ago) link
you drive me crazy but to be really real, the weirdo metaphor of basking in pieties delights me.
xxp don't get it twisted; you're wrong about everything
― horseshoe, Friday, 11 January 2013 20:55 (eleven years ago) link
oh yeah i was mad at Hurting too
i love horseshoe and think she is one of the owningest posters on this board fwiw, ive never read her posts as pious or self-righteous and think shes an incredibly thoughtful and self-critical person
