I don’t want to dox myself, but I’ve been at my job for 5+ years. I guess either my boss or I fat fingered something while I was on boarding, cuz just now I was going over some paperwork and… As far as my job is concerned I’m Native American. I am very much white. Nobody ever brought it up.

I couldn’t find an easy way to change it and I’d rather not talk to HR if it’s not a big deal. So, forget about it? Call HR?

    How often do Americans refer to aboriginals as African Americans? This is not a common situation.

      It happens enough for me to have noticed it a few times. It probably helps if you work with Americans in Australia.
