I don’t want to dox myself, but I’ve been at my job for 5+ years. I guess either my boss or I fat fingered something while I was on boarding, cuz just now I was going over some paperwork and… As far as my job is concerned I’m Native American. I am very much white. Nobody ever brought it up.
I couldn’t find an easy way to change it and I’d rather not talk to HR if it’s not a big deal. So, forget about it? Call HR?
Aren’t you kind of appropriating Indigenous Australians? I mean they’re not “your” native people, right?
Native Australians are not native people of Australia?
Yes they’re native to that land, but they’re not Zik’s Indigenous Australians! That’s what I meant about appropriating them, the way they wrote that was just too ironic.
He was using “we” to refer to his country, obviously
“Appropriate” in terms of taking literal possesion of something - “our” as in “my bed”, “our car”. I am fairly sure it’s a joke, read the wording again.
