I would guess it's because this is not toward a specific person. But rather it's saying that many people who claim to be part Cherokee really aren't, not just that don't appear to be. At least, that's how I take it.

Supposedly I'm part Cherokee but I've seen no evidence that I'm anything other than European decent. Palest mf you've seen.

My SO is super white with red hair, but is 1/8 native American. Genetics are weird.

Being the curly red headed one who can't tan in an extended family full of people who lean heavy on the native and Hispanic side of things... Agreed. Genetics are very weird
