I don’t want to dox myself, but I’ve been at my job for 5+ years. I guess either my boss or I fat fingered something while I was on boarding, cuz just now I was going over some paperwork and… As far as my job is concerned I’m Native American. I am very much white. Nobody ever brought it up.
I couldn’t find an easy way to change it and I’d rather not talk to HR if it’s not a big deal. So, forget about it? Call HR?
I’m Australian and the one that really gets me is when Americans refer to indigenous Australians as “African American” because of their skin colour. They’re in no way from Africa or America, but nice job appropriating our native people.
Aren’t you kind of appropriating Indigenous Australians? I mean they’re not “your” native people, right?
Native Australians are not native people of Australia?
Yes they’re native to that land, but they’re not Zik’s Indigenous Australians! That’s what I meant about appropriating them, the way they wrote that was just too ironic.
He was using “we” to refer to his country, obviously
Right, and therefore appropriating the natives, whose land he is on. That is the irony. I’m in the US, and they’re not our Native Americans. That’s just not something you can say.
Shit Americans say, lmao
