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.
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

>civilized
We had a thing in school called “Indian ed” where some kids would go learn about Indian stuff (I guess) once a week.
Never seen so many blue-eyed Indians in my life!
My family was actually pretty happy to learn they weren't Indian, especially my dad. I only have one aunt who is a bit of a cat lady who still refuses to believe she isn't Indian.
It’s why I’m so suspicious of a lot of “self reported” census data. “The US is mostly German and Irish,” etc. Family histories are often just wrong.
Maybe I’ll change now that you can pay $100 and learn about your genetic makeup.
My family always thought they were German. Our great grandmother was found as a 4 year old alone in Germany. She was taken in and brought to America. Turned out we were totally Anglo.
I am on the process of leaving (((FBook))) the only one that likes my Tucker-tier statuses is a literal Based Black Guy. It really surprised me, he liked my Dalai Lama status.
Just got to download all the old pictures.
I'm so glad I never made a facebook.
