I'm apparently not up on the labeling of Indians...what are "half breeds".
Having spent the last couple of years in Oklahoma City working, I became very aware of the pride that folks have in their Indian heritage.
A lot of blood haired blue eyed members of the Cherokee, Choctaw, Cheyenne and other native Americans nations.
The nations make you take a DNA/blood test to confirm your heritage, so you can receive tribal benefits.
Wonder why Elizabeth isn't a member of her native American nation...DNA would answer the question.

And you live in Oklahoma and have not heard mixed-blood people referred to as "half-breed" (and usually in a disparaging way)? You should get out more.

My sister is married to a mixed French-Canadian/Algonquin. His family is serious enough about their heritage that they regularly hunt and fish in violation of state and federal game laws on land for which they claim they have never yielded their treaty rights. There used to be a symbolic arrest every year or so, but now F&G (and the press) just ignore them.

A white police officer in Michigan is alleging in a lawsuit that colleagues started treating him in a racist manner after he received genetic testing results from Ancestry.com that showed he is 18 percent black.

Sergeant Cleon Brown is alleging that the Hastings police chief called him "Kunta"—after the main character from the 1976 novel Roots—and that colleagues whispered "back lives matter" to him in the hallways, local news site MLive.com reported. Also, when each officer had a stocking on the department's Christmas tree, someone reportedly put into Brown's a Santa figurine with 18 percent written on it.

Brown, who has been on the force for nearly two decades, filed the lawsuit against the city of Hastings, Police Chief Jeff Pratt, Deputy Chief Dale Boulter, Sergeant Kris Miller and Hastings City Manager Jeff Mansfield.

If Joe and Ricky were on the force they’d have filed a claim that the 18%er was discriminating against them for their overwhelming whiteitude.

Those heavily-advertised spit on a q-tip DNA tests should be taken with a grain of, well, spit.
