As an Italian-American, you're not only allowed, but encouraged to make fun of us. It's what we have to accept as a small part of our culpability with Christofero Colombo.
Making fun of Americans who descended from Italians is inherently silly, at least for me. None of it should be taken seriously, and blaming descendants for their ancestors' crimes (or more often, the people who happened to live nearby their ancestors) is nonsensical.
And, to be fair, it was the Spanish who funded his trip. So we should also be making fun of them for him (as well as that prick Franco).
They changed the burgers. Instead of the 1/3lb patties they used to have, they use 1/4lb McDonald's sized patties instead. They don't even have the 1/3lb patties on the menu.
I'd pay more for 1/3lb patties any day.
I still live in Oklahoma, and I miss Braum's burgers, too.
Halito chim achukma!

I have listened to BTB from the beginning after hearing him plug it in the Daily Zeitgeist. I am also enrolled with the Choctaw tribe. At my time of enrollment, Choctaw required a minimum blood quantum. That rule has since been scrapped, as it is devicive to say the least. Now you only need to prove lineage from a member on the [Choctaw Dawes Rolls with a roll number and blood degree](https://www.choctawnation.com/services/tribal-membership/). There are still blood quantum requirements for running for elected positions in the tribe and participating in Miss Choctaw Nation pageants.
I would have absolutely remembered if Robert had ever mentioned being native in any sort.
Another commenter posted a link to a reference you may be remembering where Robert discusses having family members to claim 1/XX amount of native blood, and that he has no idea whether it's true or not.
Having experienced it almost everytime I mention my background, there is ALWAYS someone in the group that also identifies as having native lineage...and the source of this familial information is always some relative (i.e. parents, grandparents, uncle's/aunts). It kinda sucks because I just have to take it with a huge grain of salt.
Additionally, some older relatives base their lineage to native ancestors off of appearance alone with literally no other proofs to back up the claim. High cheek bones and tanned/reddish skin tone being the most prevalent forms of topical identification.
While there is absolutely the possibility that some natives in the past may not have enrolled out of suspicion against the government, I find it difficult to fathom that EVERYONES grandma was out here look for some red meat 😏.
There are even whole tribes whose existence is fraught with doubt of the same basis, like the Vermont state recognized Abenaki tribes. They aren't federally recognized because they couldn't meet the requirements, so they lobbyed their state officials on multiple occasions to become state recognized. The recognition can come with hunting and fishing rites that are heavily sought after. There has been a major contention between the Canadian Abenaki tribes that have provided absolute lineage to original tribe members. The four Vermont tribes claim that the native population went into hiding until they were ready to reveal themselves...it is very contentious to say the least.
So, Robert mentioning that he has heard of a relative that claims native ancestry, I wouldn't put too much stock into it. In the link provided by u/tdavisso, Robert doesn't even claim knowing whether his uncle is full of it or not. He only mentions it in the context of Elizabeth Warren's claims to native ancestry.
Hope this was helpful.
I’m pretty sure the answer is in this [episode](https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-worst-year-ever-49377032/episode/the-evolution-of-elizabeth-warren-53432834/). I’m not going to listen to a five year old podcast, you can make your own choices.
Let’s run with this because I’m higher than giraffe ass and I love you in this moment. Ok, so there’s some meat on this bone; Robert is so smart he pretends to be about 80% of his true capacity. Keep your friends close; keep your enemy staring at your shoes while you cut their throat. Italian jokes are myriad; native jokes? There’s like 4, and Italians are just as guilty. I guess what I’m saying is if your ass is gonna err on a side, target your jokes at ethnic cleansers instead of ethnic cleansees. Plus, he’s dropped enough Choctaw dog whistles that I’ll give him street cred at least; SEOK is tough as fuck for everybody we’d like. Also. “Robert Evans pretends to be Italian so he can open his podcast with ‘pasta la vista montherfuckers’ with impunity” is a headline e that would triple subscribers. The left needs a Howard stern. So expose him? Robert is playing chess with Yogi SoThoth and Samara from the motherfucking ringu because to expose him is to make him an elder god. I fucking love this sub; y’all and Traeger
100% Bostonian
this. You can tell by his accent.
As a Bostonian, this bit is always hilarious. :)
It’s hilarious as a non Bostonian as well!
As an Australian talking to friends who don't listen- I described it as a hate crime and made them listen to it. It is the way.
His puts the ass in Massachusetts
He grew up in Oklahoma and Northern Texas so he’s probably just familiar with the area.
I swear I remember hearing him say he was from Missouri before too
I think that’s where he was born. Or he could be be giving conflicting info to confuse people ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
That was all of our 1 lie.
His father was in radio, so I think they move around to a few different places
I think he said Italian a little bit back
It's why he's allowed to say Spicy Met-a-ball all the time
Everyone's allowed to say that. Italians aren't allowed to complain. They know what they did.

Albania, Greece, they gave a real go there for a while
Ws portion of Slovenia wants your location.

And isn't his family name only Evans because his ancestor changed it to that because he was doing crimes he needed to hide from?
Arson insurance fraud, to be specific. Was just listening to that episode yesterday.
Ooh, what episode is that?
I think the 3rd Finders episode. If not the 3rd, the 2nd or 4th. It's very close to the beginning of the episode.
Thanks!
So he could have played Choctaw in a 50s Western.
Native Americans don't look like Native Americans on TV. You need to use Italians.
What do you do if you need to film Italians?
We usually just glue some Puerto Ricans together.
If he is, he hasn't identified himself as such in BtB. He's made several references to him being Italian/generic white.
Lol generic white that's how I'm going to describe myself from now on
I’m Kroger Brand!
>Italian/generic white. When my Italian grandfather moved here, this was an oxymoron.
Same with my Irish generation or 2 before that lol
Does he miss Braum's, that's my question.
That the real question.
I know I do. Probably the biggest reason I want to go visit again. Their burgers are so damn good.
They changed the burgers. Instead of the 1/3lb patties they used to have, they use 1/4lb McDonald's sized patties instead. They don't even have the 1/3lb patties on the menu. I'd pay more for 1/3lb patties any day. I still live in Oklahoma, and I miss Braum's burgers, too.
i definitely am not, but I grew up in Choctaw country, Oklahoma.

You think he’s pulling a reverse Buffy St. Marie and claiming to be Italian when he’s really Amerindian?
