    Just to add a bit more because I researched this idea a bit more because I was curious.

    There's an blood quantum protocol for the indigenous peoples of America where if you possess a certain amount of Native American ancestry you are eligible to be accepted into the community (and live on their land) - for some tribes it is not a high requirement at all: could be a great-great grandparent or something. Just a (relatively) recent traceable ancestor - what is important to them is that you begin to identify with the culture and tradition, and not just with the blood.

    Anyway, it's a little strange to me, but at the same time I think it's kind that these people would welcome anyone of their blood, even if it is distant, who takes enough interest to know their culture and roots.

    They have to at this point. Membership is low, their culture is vanishing. Most within the culture full blooded are disenfranchised and poor.

    So I shouldn't be proud of being Black just because I am under 25% Black? WTF?

    At that point you are not really a black person but just partially black.

    Are you under 25% SSA and you seriously identify as black? Lol. First you need to determine how African, European, etc. you really are.

    I would say ancestry below 25% (one full grandparent) is not very important. Normally we don't even get to see our great-grandparents and when we do, we're too young to remember them.

    It depends if you have a lot of small ancestries ranging from about 20 percent then they should identify with whatever they want. It’s in there dna so I don’t see a problem with him identifying as that

    Well, my point is if someone is 87.5% British and 12.5% Italian (one great-grandparent), they're just British and there is no point LARPing as something "exotic".
