I was arguing with a white american couple the other day they said they were part native american and I said that's the same as being part Mexican and they were somehow insulted and confused.

They believe that being part Native American is not the same as Mexican. Native Americans to them are some great light skinned Asiatic mystical people that are greater and higher up than a Mexican.

It's really odd because they are really not different from Mexicans at all except most are dead so you don't see them every day.

I have noticed this before, it goes to show what hypocrits USAmericans can be. they want to cling to the imaginary Native American ancestor -Cherokee princess often -because it is seen as cool while they get to preserve their white privilege but when someone points out that that would place them quite close to Mexicans racially then they are suddenly offended as if both things are polar opposites.
