One of the worst ass-chewing I ever got here was from an American Indian who informed me in no uncertain terms that there was no way I could have ever experienced discrimination because I am a pale-skinned redhead. Even went so far as to PM the then owner of the site that not only was I racist I was a -- gasp -- feminist, too. I STILL laugh my butt off every time I see him post. One of the original snowflakes, if there ever was one.
He didn't have an answer for me when I told him the type of treatment I received in grade and middle school from Native American kids who looked "pure" (because I have brothers and sisters who look full-blood, as well as my mom clearly showing her Native American roots. I was treated as a "halfbreed" while my full-blood looking brothers and sisters were not. My folks were like "Suck it up, buttercup. If you can't fight your own fights now, and stand up for what you know in your heart is true no matter what some uneducated idgit thinks, you are never gonna make it."
So ... I guess it's my family's fault I'm a racist feminist. Lmao!
