I wonder who produced those cowboy movies

maybe the Cherokee girls just like white guys...

Well Mexican ones definitely do, for whatever that's worth

I think it’s probably out of the deep seated desire everyone has to belong to a group of people. Since “white southerner” has become demonized, they go with the strange “Cherokee” angle.

Incidentally, my grandmother’s husband was actually a Cherokee (you can tell by looking at my half-aunts and uncles.) He uh. Got drunk and beat her a lot, so she remarried a white guy from Texas (my grandfather.)

Nice guy

You have my mom and her sister who look incredibly Caucasian, then I have an aunt who looks like she came from one of those velvet paintings with the moon and wolves and dream catchers etc.

The “drunk Indian” stereotype is apparently quite true, unfortunately.

I have some distant cousins who got with blacks, but otherwise my family is huwhite af

I think I remember reading that natives literally lack the enzyme that lets them break down alcohol.

Yes that's true

They have zero tolerance for it because they never had it until we came along

I guess without agriculture, you don’t really start fermenting anything.

Yeah they are one of the rare societies on Earth that never developed a beverage with alcohol

Alcoholism rates among Indians is extremely high

Has historically been a huge issue for them

Sad.

Indeed

As a South Dakotan I can confirm Natives can't hold their alcohol.

Had a buddy in high school that I used to drink with and despite him weighing 100+ more than me I could still drink him under the table. I'm German-scandinavian.

He was Dakota Sioux.

I watched Black Panther as a laugh. It was even more disgusting than I imagined.

I decided I'm not watching that anti-white bs.

My favorite thing about that movie is that they only have this rich and amazing civilization because they’re sitting on top of a mineral deposit. Not out of ingenuity, not out of struggle, their civilization’s success comes from its physical location and nothing else.

Insulting!

It's disturbing that people can support something like this and even celebrate it.

The Indian folklore was deep in my family too.

I don’t really go to the movies much anymore. I also stopped watching cable years ago because I didn’t have the time or money for it and it’s staggering that people will pay money to watch what’s on cable.

I grew up thinking I was 1/16 Cherokee

It. Is. Always. Cherokee.

But not a drop in me

That parts’ still a mystery! I guess it’s just Cherokee because they’re well known?

I paid for my parents to be tested too, nothing there either

💯 Gang.

It’s never like Sioux or Navajo

My family respected Cherokee in part because of the culture they had, settled farmers rather than nomads

Or like Blackfoot

Maybe that’s it? They were certainly one of the more civilized groups.

And the fact they adopted written language and basically Europeanized more than other groups
