I am part Native American. But never helped me get a job. My skill-set got me my jobs.
The HVAC tech that installed my air-conditioner was looking for a new career in software engineering. He lives on the reservation immediately north of my city. He started in the right direction, but made some bad choices with respect to drug use. The last time we spoke, he was jailed awaiting trial. The outcome was possibly prison. The trial date has come and gone. I suspect he is incarcerated now.
That is what they all say.
My neighbors wife said she had a little Indian in her. But it was only when her husband was out of town!
