Cher claimed 1/16th Cherokee after protests regarding her singing the song Half Breed.
Bully for Cher. This is America, everybody is 1/16 of something.
I’m 1/16 North Carolina Cherokee and I look about as blond white bread as you can look. My cousins on the other hand got the high cheekbones, all jet black hair, authentic enough to make Elizabeth Warren green With envy.
Do I have enough Cherokee blood to be allowed to make jokes about Indians? Or does my blond hair disqualify me?
