And also this.
Yeah, like so many people, I only found out that Iron Eyes Cody was Sicilian through The Sopranos. But once you recognize the nonno facial features you can't unsee it.

Pastahontas. Pocatini?
Spochettintas
Wouldn't it be wopahontis?
You win!
This shit happens all the time up here, Indigenous studies is rife with this sort of fraud. If she's enough of an asset than they'll make a big show of how she's offered tribal membership and if not she'll quietly be shuffled off to the side.

And they call Trump orange..
"it was real in my mind"

Such oppression.
White woman that had a slightly darker skin from Italian ancestry and milked being oppressed.
Do leftists ever read stuff like this and realize how shallow their victimhood based morals are?
