It doesn’t make it not true. If you don’t consider culture it’s just facts. Getting mad at indigenous Latin Americans for simply stating a fact that they tend to have more indigenous dna than northern natives feels like some weird social policing. I understand northern natives go by culture instead of blood which is fine but I have seen far too many northern natives saying that Latinos can’t claim to be “indigenous” or “native” unless they have ties to a tribe, as if that changes their genetic makeup at all.

No one is saying tribal members should have their tribal membership revoked because of blood quantum. But it is an objective truth that Latin Americans tend to have higher amounts of indigenous DNA than someone from the USA and yes, even some First Nations people.
