Re: Racially CORRECT White Celebrity Couples Indian populations in the Southern states are now less than one percent of the population(except NC, which is exactly 1%), with most states in the South having less than 1/2 a percent. Most of the Indians were moved to Oklahoma by the 1830s, and before then were ravaged by diseases; some estimate that the population before the Europeans came was as low 1 million for the entire United States, and nearly everyone agrees that 80-90% of this population died of European diseases shortly after their arrival. Most whites probably had little contact with the Indians, much less marry one.



Many white Americans claim Indian ancestry because it is supposedly "exotic" and more "interesting" than just being plain white. Most of the time it's not true and there's no genealogical evidence; ever notice how it's always 1/16 and always Cherokee?



In my experience most white Southerners, even though they're white, aren't exactly sure what their national origins are (though in most cases its the British Isles), so they'll just say "I'm Irish" even though that's equally as unlikely as being Cherokee (judging by immigration patterns; they're much more likely to be Scottish or English than Irish). It always annoys me when someone claims to be part Indian, and I ask "Oh, which ancestor?" They don't know, don't have any proof, haven't researched it, but they just know that they're part Indian. Same with the white celebrities, they don't have any proof either, but they want to appear to be multicultural.
