I don't know anyone who claims just A because that means that people can't claim their family fought in the American Revolution, which is ******ed. B does happen, but according to genetic data of whites from 23 and Me, it's entirely false as American whites have barely 0.18% Native DNA on average.wannaggie said:I would bet that people in the general NYC area claiming to be from the historically s---hole sections of the city, are just the yankee equivalent of how almost all white families in the south claim a backstory which either includes:Socially liberal NPC 888 said:https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/01/exclusive-photos-of-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-or-sandy-as-she-was-known-at-her-elite-high-school-in-yorktown-not-in-the-bronx/Pumpkinhead said:
She is a 29-year old woman who was waitressing at restaurants not too long ago, who has a bunch of people (haters or lovers) now following her, including the people on this thread spreading her tweets around. Somebody compared her to sort of a Dem version of Trump and they are kind of right. She surprised the established Dem incumbents by being a lot more skillful political operator than they saw coming, partly by throwing a bunch of provocative comments out there and social media taking it from there. Regardless of whether people are saying good or bad things about her, the more people are talking about her is just more feeding the brand that she is building.
She used to go by the name "Sandy" in high school where she tried to make herself look as white as possible. Her entire modern personality is a complete fraud.
(A) ancestors who came from Europe in the late 1800s (code for 'my family wasn't here until after the civil war, so we're not slavey slaveholding slaver McSlaversteins')" or
(B) "my grandma's mother was full blooded Cherokee/Choctaw".
In much the same way virtually everyone everywhere in all regions of the country claims to have grown up "eating government cheese".
Street-cred poverty-realness posturing is one thing that brings blacks, whites, and browns together.
I'm sure I had ancestors who owned slaves given that I'm related to a Judge in 1600s and a General in the American Revolution, but whatever I don't care at all as I had nothing do with it.
I have zero Native DNA (I've had my DNA tested) and it is 100% European.
Street cred in this regard only matters to SJWs.
