Native American

When you hear the words "Native American" what do you think?  Maybe a dark-skinned, black-haired person with a feather in his hair, like the guy in the photo.  That is such a stereotype.

Well, guess what?  I know a Native American with light skin and red hair who wears cardinals hats.  Me.

Yes, I am a Native American.  100%, actually.  I was born in America, and if I'm not Native American what am I?  I rest my case.

you can make the same argument for blue cheese. there may be an actual BLUE cheese. like ALL blue cheese. but then there is a specific type of cheese that we call blue cheese. when people say "BLUE CHEESE" others think of the type of blue cheese, not of any cheese that happens to be blue. they may both be correct, but we choose to call one "blue cheese" and the other something else. like a red head.
