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.
Yeah, in Canada we have a lot of actual Natives, and they are stereotyped as drunkards and bums rather than light skinned Asiatic mystical people as they are in America. There was actually a parody radio show done called Brocket 99 that plays on these stereotypes.
