Historically, the US government has proven to be super fair and not at all racist in regards to Native rights and issues so I’m sure we’ll be fiiiiiine.

Just like how the news called them native creatures when talking about elections. Or last year labeling them as others. I'm sure this will go over smoothly.

If all of those ethnicities owned the country before everyone killed 90% of the population with disease, and then invaded. Sure. i'd probably wage some money that in China Chinese babies have a preference to go to Chinese parents.

​

Also, add to the fact that native children were pretty much abducted from their families, and white washed in child concentration camps.

It's almost as if some actions can have generational impacts. Also, this shit was happening while people who identify as Gen X were alive- It's not just old dead people.

Because being Native American in this context isn’t about race, it only applies to tribal citizens. I’m not an enrolled member of the white race, but for ICWA to apply you have to be a member of a political entity. It’s completely different.
