I don't talk to that side of the family anymore and lying about racial identity isn't even in the top 20 reasons. It was awkward as a teen though, it made me feel like I had no actual roots because my family denied the roots I did have. Especially because I was dark enough as a teen to be on the receiving end of racial discrimination. It put me in a really weird spot identity wise for a while, but the more I deprogram myself from western brain worms the less weird it is
I had no idea they were running a prescription mill lmao
My mom did it with us when I was still a kid, only to find out that my Dad's side of the family was lying about being native
How'd that turn out?
