Actually 'Indians' in the Native American sense are in the Asian racial group, not the Caucasian one. The problem with US racial categories is that nearly all Latinos are a racial amalgam, and don't conform to the "one-drop" rule (not that again...). Nearly ALL of them have African, indigenous and European ancestry. If someone arrives in the US and acts like they have no black or Indian blood, we have a phrase that calls them on the BS: "Y tu abuela, donde esta?" Where's your grandma? Because if you go back along the family tree, everyone is black and native, no matter how much texturizer they put in that hair, lol.
I know this from personal experience, but that doesn't make it correct. LOL. My father is odane of those NY cats, but he had the advantage of the Black Panthers and the Young Lords to keep his head straight as a young man.
