The exceptions made to discrimate against Lumbee for having African ancestry is an example of colorism that many Sweetgum Kriyul people face.

A lot of these triracial communities exist, they're called the Sweetgum Kriyul tribes, some are more into their Native American heritage and others are more into being mixed. The Ramapough, Lumbee, Piscataway, and Nansemond are of Native American descent and are Native Americans. They just have low blood quantum. Like most Eastern tribes. The Lumbee just get hated for many of them looking Black which is just racism and colorism.
