That uncapitalized phrase applies to any individual born here. The capitalized version, "Native American," is a proper noun that applies to a whole group of people. Including their ancestors. As a group, these people--also known as Indians--are native to the Americas no matter where they were born individually.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-86770965803862267052013-09-22T02:18:11.652-07:002013-09-22T02:18:11.652-07:00I used "Native" as a proper noun to refe...I used "Native" as a proper noun to refer to the people also known as Indians. I used "native" as a noun or adjective to refer to people born in a place. That's how I've always used the two words.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-82387333628122261662013-09-20T10:21:59.005-07:002013-09-20T10:21:59.005-07:00" They're a hundred times more native tha..." They're a hundred times more native than you are."<br /><br />I do disagree some with this argument. And I noticed you chose to use the lower-case generic form of "native".<br /><br />The only way an individual can be 100% times more native than this guy is if they have lived in the US all of their 100 years of age, and this columnist is 1 year old.<br /><br />On an individual basis, either a person is native to a place, they aren't, and the only way to increase the degree of it is to have lived in the spot longer, yourself.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-92134491330766086822013-09-19T14:27:20.886-07:002013-09-19T14:27:20.886-07:00When a people, gender, group or race is equated to...When a people, gender, group or race is equated to being SUBJECTS and not flesh and blood, it is easier to kill them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
