I'm part Cherokee. If someone asks me about my heritage, I just say: Irish, Scottish, Norwegian, English, Belarussian, Lithuanian, and Cherokee (I never use the term Native American).

Plenty of us in here from the Cherokee nation. I'm Irish/German/Cherokee. What 'color' am I? Hell, I don't know. Color me American. Same thing went for all of the 'black' guys I served with in the Army. We were all Americans. We didn't use race for any descriptions. We used each other's names and rank. Race or color was meaningless. Why can't the rest of the nation do that?
