Indian Identity

 

The leader of the Piapot Natin has called on Buffy Sainte-Marie to take a DNA test to see if she really is or is not an Indian. Although she has had contact with that nation for many years.

Question: if you can't tell whether someone is an Indian by looking at them, an you can't tell someone is an Indian by talking to them, how is it possible to discriminate against Indians? You can still discriminate in their favour, yes, but not against. They could always just deny their ethnicity.
