2018 Native American Dollar

.. as opposed to somebody whose ancestors immigrated from India and who is now Indian-American? Seriously, this is difficult anyway, as I am not sure how broad the term Native American is. After all, the 2020 coin will be about Native Alaskans and does of course not refer to "anybody who was born in Alaska" ...

Guess we all know that the series is about the people and nations that were in what now is the US before the first "post-Columbian" Europeans came to that part of the world. So, indigenous or (a little tougher to pronounce, hehe) autochthonous maybe?

No, India doesn't allow dual citizenship, so they are Americans. This hyphenated crap is PC jibberish. My ancestors came from Ireland, but I am not an Irish-American, I am an American. But if you want to get technical, I am an American of Irish heritage.

 

Yes at the hospital we used to have to fill out if the patient was Caucasian, African- American, white Hispanic, black Hispanic, Native American, Japanese, Chinese, Polynesian, Asian other, Mixed race, or Other. It's been changed now. Now we have to fill out Hispanic, or Other. What I can't figure out is if they lumped all the others together, why did they keep Hispanic separate?

Beats me, but whenever I go to Home Depot, or Lowes, (Walmart, for that matter) I have to know Spanish......
