[QUOTE="Pokinfun, post: 2993234, member: 28113"] At the risk of having someone insult me, here it goes. In class we discuss race and society all the time. I am a little less then half American Indian. However, I am very dark skinned. My mom, American Indian, and father divorced when I was about 10 months old. I grew up with my dad and grandparents who were so German, they spoke German all the time. I tell students that I am a big brown Oreo cookie, brown on the outside and white in the middle. Culturally I am German, not American Indian. I ask the kids what am I German or Indian. the kids all say German, but then I ask them how society sees me. They then say as an Indian, or make a joke about me being George Lopez. As a realist, in society I am an American Indian. [/QUOTE]
