Genuine question about "Colorado Natives"
Okay so a few things of note about me: I'm Colorado born and raised, and lived here for all but 2 years of my life. I'm 5 generations out from settlers who came here in covered wagons, with the ancestry to prove it so we could get the pioneer plates back in the day when you had to prove it.
Is there anywhere else that's as obnoxious about being "from" Colorado??? Like calling yourself a native, having all the merch, etc etc? Like I take pride from being from here, I love hiking, snow, our sunshine, etc. but you wouldn't ever catch me having a native sticker on my car cuz frankly it's always seemed disrespectful to ACTUAL native people when I'm just a pasty white girl.
This is genuine curiosity, not just a rant. Where else is as obnoxious about this???
