> it seems odd to only recognize the Cherokee half.

The media recognizes the Cherokee half because they, and other minorities, have suffered more hardship than White Europeans, like the Jewish, the Irish, the German immigrants to the US, etc. Or that's the perception anyway. The Jewish, Irish, Polish, German immigrants, and others, suffered horribly when they came to the US without any money. But trends in culture simply put more suffering on the blacks and hispanics right now.

I have Polish families, and German and Irish ancestry, and am a bit of a history buff. After seeing the movie "Five Points of New York" I read a book on it. Conditions in the movie were accurate, and actually left out quite a bit of the horrifying aspects, such as the smell. The level of garbage in that area regularly exceeded 3 feet. This included raw sewage and horse droppings.

I think it was this book.

My point: history repeats itself but with different groups.
