I got to keep my Mohawk in high school against dress code by reminding the school that I'm 57% native and their banning of my cultural hairstyle was racist as hell.

Nice! That wouldn't have worked when I was in highschool.

My high school was like 98% white, and it was at a time when people were starting to shift attitudes. I remember how openly racist or "cute jokey" racist shit was so common in the early 2000s so when the one native kid brought up racial discrimination they figured it would be easier to just let me have my Mohawk.

Lesson learned from his lessons? Don't touch America's boats. Just don't.

While scrolling, I thought it was Rammstein, then had to take a better look.
