I was born here. That makes me a 100% Bona fide native American. It isn’t race. .... dammed nazi.
A few years ago ( 2005 actually ) Vermont advanced to the round of 32 where it lost to Michigan State (I looked this up ), and this was a big sensation. What I recall from probably the MSU game was an aside by one of the commentators that some Vermont player was “a native Vermonter”.
See? This sticks in my craw. Why is he a Native Vermonter, but not a Native American ?
