who gave the Magat a truth lesson. The only people whose DNA is categorized as indigenous Americans are the Native Americans.

The rest of us have the DNA of wherever our ancestors came from. I am a mix of Scottish, Irish, Italian, and German with a little bit of Denmark and France thrown in.

I wonder if some of them even know how horrible their ancestors were treated by the people who traveled here before them. How would they feel, if it was still happening to their families.

My Mom was born in the U.S, in 1930, but she and her brothers and sisters were often called by derogatory names for Italians. I know it hurt them. Why do people think it's okay to treat current immigrants even worse.?
