Miley Cyrus' Cherokee Background Influences Purchase Decisions
Miley Cyrus was all about getting a big gas guzzler car when she turns 16 but her dad put his foot down and said that with her Cherokee background she should have more respect for the environment.
"I've begged my dad for the Mercedes G-Wagen, but he was like, 'Miley, isn't there enough pollution in the air?' We're Cherokee, that's our background. And he's like, 'As a Cherokee, I really don't think you want to do this.'
And I'm like, 'Dad, I'm not that Cherokee.' He wants me to take care of the environment and look at hybrid cars. I'm stoked, that's awesome, especially with the price of gas. I want to spray paint it. I want to rock out my car. I want to get my car pimped out.'"
I'm not that Cherokee...what does she mean by that?
Also, I think Miley can afford the gas prices. ;)

Perhaps she meant that she wasn't raised all that much Cherokee.......with Indian customs and all that...idk...If I would have asked my mom for a mercedes at 16 she would have laughed in my face......lol and yea vera..she most definitely can afford the gas prices......

I think by "not that Cherokee" she means that there was probably Native American ancestry in her past, but that she doesn't identify herself with that culture. My great-grandmother was Native American, yet when people ask me about my heritage, it is rarely mentioned. I was raised in a Euro-American home, where father's French heritage dominated. As proud as I am of my family, I don't identify with that part of my heritage because I did not experience it, wasn't taught about it.... Perhaps that is what she means.
She probably means she's not that much cherokee. Meaning the she doesn't identify with the cherokee heritage.

She meant EXACTLY what she said. The family has a Cherokee background but it's not like she's full-blooded and walking around looking like her ancestors. No one in her family looks remotely like the Cherokee indians. In addition, the environmental issues should be instilled in these kids very early on so perhaps the world WILL be a better place someday!
My husband had a Trailblazer when we met. Oh how I wish I could get rid of that gas guzzler. Miley seriously needs to stick to a little car that she can actually drive.

This little moron needs to just NOT speak. EVER.

I was thinking the same thing about you.
Ooooh. Speaking of fifteen year-olds -- I know you are, but what am I? Or how about, I'm rubber, you're glue. Whatever bounces off me sticks to you. Or something similarly asinine. Eff off, you stupid c**t.

Ernestine...as far as I'm concerned, you may speak as much as you like. I personally love reading all of your posts!
Ernestine why don't you **** off.
I can not wait for her to go away. Although if she keeps speaking and being a brat her true colors will chase her fans aways.
this fake toothed beaver needs to shut up!
C'mon people! Miley is FIFTEEN YEARS OLD!!! Who doesn't say stoopid things when they are 15??? I'm sure glad no one was following me around with a camera and voice recorder, I would die of embarrassment!

She is SUCH a teenager!
BrowserAug 7, 2008 @ 02:34 pm
I think she means she is only Cherokee if it helps her come tax time. Im not sure about the states but here in good old Canada if you are a native indian you get all sorts of tax breaks. I even had a cousin who tried his damnest to prove he has native relations in his background so he would be tax exempt. It didnt work mind you lol

hahaha I'm not sure what the state laws are but definately a benefit in Canada!

at 15 that's how i spoke...sometimes. and i'm sure you did, too. give her a break.

As much as I hate this christian family and their crap antics, this actually makes sense. I love how people who are 11% of any ethnic heritage impose it like they were brought up in that heritage. Which originals cherokees in their traditional way praised Jesus? Her dad is complete fuktard. Hes probably the reason why she is so self hating to the point of amateur porn and extreme apologetics with the Leibovitz scandal. But this one actually makes sense to me more than her **** dad. She isnt cherokee, she wasnt brought up that way, she is in disney for **** sake. Suddenly to consider her heritage which is barely anything anyway is ludicrous. And I also have to wonder out loud, there is a huge misconception that native american tribes were somehow very concerned with conserving nature. No, they lived their life and they polluted their surroundings too. If they had the technology we do, they would do the same things. We do these things because we are human. The reason why Africa doesnt contribute as much to pollution as North America isnt because their tradition doesnt allow, its simply the lack of availability of the means and materials to do so.
I thank my lucky stars that my teenager had no interest in being famous. LOL I cringe when I read peoples' scathing comments toward Miley. She's just a teen girl. Let her be a kid for pete's sake! I agree with much of what you said Gemma. I give Miley credit for just being herself, acting her age and not trying to act all "old soul-like", kwim?

Where is the quote from? After those quote risky unquote photos, I thought disney sewed her mouth shut?
BrowserAug 7, 2008 @ 03:52 pm
Regardless of any lingering genetic material, Miley is about as Cherokee as I am a toaster oven. Girl is ridiculous.
As a teenager, we had to pay for our own gas so having a gas efficient vehicle was a plus. Recently, I purchased a Honda Civic Hybrid. Great car, I like it immensely. It is a fun car to drive and cutting my gas bill in half is a nice benefit. The Honda Civic Hybrid is manufactured in Japan and the Japanese really know how to make a car! I always bought American cars until my Ford Taurus drove me to tears. My next car was a Nissan Maxima and that is such a great car. It is 10 years old and it drives as good as the day I got it. It gave me no problems at all. None, nadda. Hear that Detroit?

Gee Gemma - Is it really necessary to drag religion into this. What the kid says at her age is really no big deal. And, why is the fact their a Christian family such a big deal to you? What's wrong with that?
What a dumb excuse. He should have just said no. Everyone is ~ethnic~ nowadays. What a joke.
i am 33.3 % ajumawi and a catholic. get eduacated u can be any race and religion. i have cousins who coverted to the jewish faith and they are no less native. your blood is your blood. :)
i think by "not that cherokee" she meant that she's too selfish to take the environment into consideration when selecting her mad pimped out ride... unless her achey breaky hearted dad forces her to.
BrowserAug 7, 2008 @ 06:49 pm
haha...i agree. i also like how this quote makes it seem like the ONLY reason billy ray cares about the environment is because they have some native american blood in them.

A complet idiot!
wonder if his and her tour bus pollutes the air...? oh, surely not, that would be so disappointing to the cherokees.........

poor girl, she's so uneducated. anyway, sounds like she's saying this just to say "hey! I CARE!". GOD.
