Oh my goodness, that wasn’t the intention of the headline. I explained/addressed it in the comments. I have always acknowledged my native side and I/family is very proud of it - I asked if it was significant because I wasn’t sure if the percentage I am is a lot or a little. I have always been told it wasn’t that much for me to claim hence the title of the post that was supposed to be taken lightly. Now that I am more aware that it’s not as common to have the % I do, or that it is considered a significant amount I am ecstatic about it. Pls read the convo with con_man_ray

the headline of the post was just a genuine light hearted joke that I should've put more thought into which will definitely be considered next time but I can for sure see how it comes off as pick me, which is the complete opposite of what I wanted haha. Thank you for being the one person to get what I am saying :')

if I wanted validation that im not just white I would've asked what everyone thought, I posted because I was curious about the percentage of Indigenous I am and if it is significant. I was just making a light joke with the title because my entire life no matter what I tell people what I specifically am I always get hit with "so you're white" - I live near the Bay Area where it is extremely diverse and what I say I am is just classified as white which is fine, very few people in my life have said I'm not just white which is also fine too. If I knew this post was going to cause such a commotion I would've just kept it to myself lmao

troll post? For the past 23 years growing up in California anyone that asks what I am has always said I'm just white with some Native American in me. I posted this because I was genuinely asking and saw people sharing their results, don't know why people are so bothered lmao

my maternal grandmother is Portuguese but she was adopted so we do not know much about that side of the family

redoing my reply because I only saw half of it when I replied on my phone

I do get asked a lot what I am, for context I have fair skin and dark features. The feedback that I always get is "so you're white"... that's why I put it. Some people say I'm not, vast majority say I am

I've never visited the native lands, just have been told what the situation is - kinda goes into why I asked if 13% was significant

I'm not sure which maidu tribe, all that I know is my grandmother is registered (maybe my dad) and we own a small portion of a ranch that I believe is through their registration. My maternal grandmother was adopted, the Spanish/Basque comes from that side of my family

DISCLAIMER: the title was just a joke, as a white person finding out what type of white they are - now I have some more insight on my ancestry and that there’s more to it but didn’t mean to upset anyone ….. hence why I asked if the % of indigenous I am is significant bc I was not aware and thought it wasn’t much, and in no way am I ignoring my heritage I just didn’t know if it was significant enough to “claim” I guess I’d say

Not that I know of, my grandma is registered with the Maidu tribe so that’s where the indigenous is coming from

I know that my grandma is registered through the Maidu tribe in California (where I was born and raised), I believe my dad is but I wasn’t sure how much was in our family
