Blood quantum is the idea that you can be 1/4 this, 1/64th that, as if you were a dog breed or a racehorse. It’s based on the idea of BLOOD PURITY, which is an idea from eugenics.

If you don’t read anything else here, please marinate on this:

Asking a Native “how much are you” reinforces eugenics. It’s rude, it’s racism-enabling—don’t be that person. You don’t ask this of anyone else, so honestly why would you with Natives? Also: disappearing race trope. Yuck.
