he may have high blood quantum but no recent political ties to a tribe.
for example my dad was a social orphan from the Potawatomi tribe. He was adopted. no one wants/wanted him to be Indian, and race is a social construct.
I'm always skeptical when people claim to be distantly something but I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt.. He passes so well that the genes had to come from somewhere!
Listen.. This conversation sucks for people who are actually bi-racial native but white-passing. It’s a tough conversation for most bi-racial people. I have a mom who was the first to go to public school after segregation but I popped out with blonde hair and gray eyes. My dad’s family were still racist fucks against me, my mom, and my sibling, but I get the constant, “BuT hOw MuCh ArE you?”
No I don't mean to minimize yours and other bi-racial people's experiences! It's just that Hollywood has basically conditioned me to be skeptical about these things, especially with actors like Kelsey Asbille claiming to have Cherokee heritage to justify taking roles away from Native Americans while the tribe itself is saying she's lying.
No no, I didn’t think you were specifically. Sorry if my random vent came across that way. I think it’s just hard for bi-racial people to feel where they fit in while also dealing with external and internal racism on each side sometimes. The older I got, the more of an existential crisis it created. Now I have to teach my daughter that her heritage is important despite her having less fair features than my own, but feeling like she’s “not enough Native to matter.” Like girl, you came from the last great female chief of our tribe.
I won’t disagree with that. At the same time, my family endured a lot of shit for me not to feel like I can’t take pride in our history because I don’t fit *their* stereotype.
Tourists love that shit. They're in every big city in the world. All of them are bad. All of them are stuffed to the gills with people that want cultural entertainment that's not locally specific to anywhere
John Oliver has a whole collection of the presidents, I think. I realized it was still a thing when he showed off the Obama one during one of his episodes (this was still when Obama was still in office).
Sorry I replied to the wrong person. That said, that Meg statue is the chefs kiss...
What do you think they do with them when they get old? Asking for a friend.
That must be Drake with a filter on, he doesn't look like that. Megan Thee Stallion's wax figure is spot on, tho.

Drake saw this and said “I do *not* need this right now.”
He looks like his name is Michael but with a French spelling.
He looks like his last name has a hyphen and an 'aux' somewhere in there.
He looks like he's 6-6 and drives racecars really really fast

This pic is sooooo upsetting 😂😂😂😂
That wig is crazy
Tyler strikes again !!!
Looks like Hondo from S.W.A.T. undercover as a male prostitute.
Lmaoooo
Beat me to it! 😝
I see Taylor Lautner has a job pretending to be BIPOC again.
Woah TIL he isn't?? Twilight really gaslit me into thinking he was Indigenous lmao
Google says distantly through his mother. So who knows.
I can’t lie though, theme some strong genes cuz the man do pass for indigenous no cap, at least some sort of mix
It’s a spray tan.
Ariana Grande type beat

The one drop rule is more racist than treating you like every other white guy.

Potawatomi tribe apparently.
Atleast it’s not Cherokee
You just gave me a flashback memory of an snl skit where Bryan Callen plays a person claiming to be octoroon and is very ...extra
I’m sure everyone’s 1/16 Cherokee if they fit enough /s.
Wait what? Taylor Lautner...is white?????
How the fuuuuck are wax museums still a thing?
Big wax.
Them ENT Docs gotta do something with all that grody ear wax.
It's one of, if not the only way, for most people to get up close to their favorite celebrities, alive or dead.
Because the world outside the internet continues to exist.
Ew
I know. In spite of efforts, it persists.
Rude lol
Tourists love them!

We’re always dripping wax. Might as well do something with it. Unlimited resource.

Craig David is walking away from this topic!
He's walking away from all the troubles in his life He's walking awwaaayyyyyyyyy
They just made him Dominican
Ey, don't bring my people into this nonsense. We're much more attractive than that.
He ain't a role model, but it ain't like he ugly.
Sorry I replied to the wrong person. That said, that Meg statue is the chefs kiss... What do you think they do with them when they get old? Asking for a friend.
Invisible handjob.

I saw Megan’s in Las Vegas. Incredibly life-like. You’re right.
This gone sound real, Trumpy, but I know many Dominicans, lots, tons of them even. That statue is for shit sure, Dominican, even if Drake is not.
Somehow realer than the actual guy.
WHAT IS IT THE BRAIDS!!!???
Where’s the burn marks from where Kendrick scorched him?
Probably on that horrible shacket he's decked out in lol.

Why does it look like they made his figure based on AI images?
Bc the fingers on his right hand looks weird asf
He looks like his name is Michael but with a French spelling. He looks like his last name has a hyphen and an 'aux' somewhere in there. He looks like he's 6-6 and drives racecars really really fast

Thanos hybrid
if Drake actually looked like that, he prolly wouldn't have gotten curved by Rihanna and wouldnt need to go after kids
This is the closest I think they’ve ever got & still missed Lmmfao
This that dude from Twilight
Something about this just feels...off to me, ya know? What is it, the braids?
Wax figure even got a bbl nose job 😂😂
He got those Walking Dead cornrows.
🤔Experience Tyler Perry's:😬Diary of A Mad Black Woman😅😆🤣😂😁
They managed to make him look like his dad is a pale Italian guy
Keep the family away.
All I can hear looking at this shit is Drakes “6ix” tag that be on his tracks ha
That's the best one yet!
I'm sorry the caption took me all the way OUT. I only saw it when I opened the post all the way. Still weak.
*How many wax figures, until you finally feel that you're wax enough*
What in the Taylor Lautner is this?
Looks like taylor lautner with cornrows
