    Just how much of your blood is Native American? As for me, I have a Native American great-great-grandfather, but nearly all the rest of my ancestors are of German lineage, so I myself am blond and ridiculously fair. Definitely it’s possible. And then, there are also historical reports of a few fair Indians, particularly the Mandans, though it is not certain how they happened to be fair – if they were immigrants or simply fair natives.

    Personally, I can feel very uncomfortable talking about racism, especially with members of traditionally victimized groups, because I belong to a race generally considered the victimizer. It’s something that’s hard for me not to take personally; even though I don’t subscribe to racist ideologies, I feel as though I myself am being held responsible for the actions of every white person. I know it’s unreasonable, but it’s simply how I feel, even when my Ghanaian boyfriend starts talking with me about politics or colonization.
