A lot of white people are actually that stupid, because especially Southerners spent years starting in the 19th century claiming they had “Cherokee royalty” in their ancestry. It was some weird shit where they wanted to claim a genealogical connection to the land, and they figured that chiefly/noble/royal blood would sort of cancel out the inherent inferiority of its non-whiteness. A strange artifact of the times, when people still took royal bloodlines so seriously I guess it could overpower their racist little minds?
So tons of white people have had their grandparents spouting off stupid shit their grandparents told them
My understanding is that a lot of the “Cherokee blood” mythical ancestors for us whites were actually black, and for whatever racist reason it was more acceptable to say you had a Cherokee ancestor than a black one.
I believe it’s also related to the same brain worms that led to the US naming all their attack helicopters after certain native tribes: these kinds of chuds always chose the “warlike” or “warrior” tribes (said with heavy air quotes here) as their “distant ancestry”, because toughness or something
I think also that being white in America you kindnof have no culture, which is depressing, so white people are constantly trying to find some excuse to have anything more going on with them and their bloodline than just “assorted crackers”.

I think it was because there were some Cherokee slave owners, historically
