Not just libs anymore, that Jan 6 shaman apparently has some Cherokee in him too (or so he says). It's becoming a badge of honor because it's being abstracted heavily.
Also: a lot of these mythical Cherokee ancestors were likely black. Under Jim Crow anyone with any black ancestor could legally be considered black, so passably white people with black ancestry usually tried to downplay their heritage and instead explained their complexion with native ancestry. Definitely not the case always, but at least in the south was not uncommon
I think I get the general idea of the joke, but I don't get it.
