      Two friends of mine just adopted a newborn. He’s 1/2 Cuban, 1/4 Navajo and 1/4 white. Guess which part they want to make sure they raise the kid as a part of.

      They’re struggling with the decision to move to the house one of their sets of parents are giving to them that’s in “too white and gentrified a neighborhood” or sell the house and buy one in an area with comparable schools, but a bigger population of that one specific tribe that has no historical presence in the…suburbs of Boston.

      They are the whitest couple I know.

      You have no idea how hard I cringe every time I tell people about my Irish heritage or my Navajo stepdad. It’s such the fucking meme.
