Would you consider someone who is a 1/4 asian or native american white?

Question

I probably would, especially since most of the 1/4 filipinos and native americans I know look white

Answer 1

love peace turkey grease, you obviously never got passed fifth grade social studies ;) The landbridge theory was proved as factual as the once believed idea that the earth is flat, both myths were spread by white people might I add :P Genetics, archaeology, anthropology and science have proven that native americans are their own unique race, humans did NOT begin in Africa as was once believed (remains just as old as those of Lucy have been discovered in South America and the Middle East) and might I add...my people have ALWAYS known where we come from ;) We don't need a people who have not known of our existance until 500 years ago to tell us they know more about us than we do.



Edit: I actually worked in a Museum for three years, and now intern as a research assistant to an archaeologist specializing in Native American Pre-History, as well as teach at Northwest Indian College, where the focus is on Native American Studies.. We update information regularly ;) So, dear, check your own link, you proved my point for me.

Answer 2

1/4 Asian, depends.

1/4 Native American, pretty much.

Answer 3

Interesting to see this definition evolving according to the political expediency of the day. Now that the goal is acculturation and extinguishing of tribal autonomy, 1/4 bloods are "white" huh? Back in the day that was enough to be a "breed" and you would definitely NOT be considered White. How times change huh? And what about "Black" blood? Is that "enough" to still be considered "White." So arbitrary...during segregation, imagine a "quarter black" guy trying to drink from the white fountain. Or does this exclude African blood...are we just talking about Asian and Native American blood here?



If you are going off of phenotype you are chasing an illusion. This is a rather loose categorization based on physical appearance of traits associated with a given population or "race." It is largely a social construct.



What is more important is political and cultural affiliation...rather than eyeballing someone and DEFINING them (whether they accept your categorization or not) based on what they look like.

Answer 4

some Tribes including my tribe the Klamath tribe in simple terms raised there blood quantum to a million/4 or extra of the Klamath tribe to be enrolled interior the tribe. earlier it replaced right into a million/8 or a million/sixteenth. We did no longer evaluate them adequate Tribal blood to be in our Tribe. Alot of alternative Tribes are thinking doing an identical element. yet, in case you're a million/4 of an Indian Tribe you will possibly properly be a member no remember what??? So, you're saying which you're a million/4 so If i replaced into you i might evaluate myself interior sight American. My father replaced into fullblood, yet my mom replaced into purely 0.5 Klamath and 0.5 white. Thank god for my father's blood or i would not be Indian the two.

Answer 5

Since they would be 75% white, yes. Some one who is %75 White is White. Majority rules. You can't be Native American if you are 75% White. They are viewed as White by society & don't face the same issues that someone who looks actually looks Native/Aboriginal would.



Rob Schinder & Mark Paul Gosslier (Zach Morris from Saved by the bell) are 75% white & viewed as white by society.

Answer 6

no.i know someone who is half asian 1/4 black/ and 1/.4 white. he considered himself asian although he lookd eurasian

@ love turkey natives are a separate race from asians

Answer 7

Being a "Native American" is a citizenship in a Native American Nation. It makes no difference if the person is 1/4, 1/2 or full-blood or whatever, If they meet the citizenship requirements of a Native American Nation they are Native American. End of Story.

@ Turkey Grease "Read Your Link" . . . It clearly says Native Americans are not genetically related to Asians.



And Yes Native Americans are one of the oldest races on the planet. Far older than Caucasoids.

Native Americans are more closely related to each other than to any existing Asian population



A variant dubbed the “9-repeat allele,” . . .occurred in all of the 41 populations sampled from Alaska to the southern tip of Chile. . . Yet this allele was "absent" in all 54 of the Eurasian, African and Oceanian groups.

In the present HLA gene study we have been able to uncover that Amerindians do not relate with any other worldwide population, according to their HLA genetic profile. The study of chromosome Y haplogroups also supports the uniqueness of Amerindians. An autochthonous origin for the Amerindians would not fit with the current opinion in science.

Amerindians are also separated from other world populations on Y chromosome haplogroups bases. This is consistent with our findings and points to either an authoctonous origin for Amerindians or to a very long isolation. This is not concordant with the theory that present day Amerindians came from Siberia through the Bering Strait.

The autochthonous character of American Indian genetic patterns is in keeping with traditional narratives describing emergences or origins in the land itself, which quietly repel scholarly attempts to imagine only migrations from elsewhere for peoples whose roots are in North America.



The primary North American Indian genetic contribution identified for the Arctic region may indicate gene flow from Alaska to Siberia. This would reverse the usual scholarly presumption that North American populations have been only a recipient of Asian immigrants and not a source of American Indian emigrants to Asia.

Answer 8

Only if they look non-hispanic white, and not muslim. I don't like mexicans and muslims being called white because it dilutes the race.
