Hmmm....lessee... Ok, as one of those North American Mongrels who happens to be 2/3 Native American of mixed Nation, and the rest is Celt and mixed western European "honkies," (OHMYGOD>>>DID HE REAALLY SAY THAT??)I have to go with what the Elders here taught me and combine it with what the White schools taught me. Every single self-aware person has a sense of "self" and "other." Ethnicity is decided by the "ethnic" group who controls the media and the situation. Whether it's religious (yep, I'm a dirt hugging 'alternative religion' Pastor), political (liberal conserviative), or racial, everyone tends to point their finger at someone else and declare them "other." As an American, and a disabled veteran, I take marginal offense when people point a finger at me and say things like "well, what do you expect, he's an American." That creates an artificial ethnicity that I have to live inside at that moment. How about I just declare my ethnicity as "me," and everyone else does the same?
