Since most White Americans are descended from European immigrants who arrived in the United States sometime between 1890 and 1910, it could be that their children pretended to have Native American ancestors, to make themselves feel less "foreign", to avoid bullying at school; and that this is the origin of the phenomenon?

From NACLA July 1 2008: Outsourcing the Iraq War: Mercenary Recruiters Turn to Latin America Despite the fact that public sentiment in Latin America has been strongly against the Iraq war since it began, thousands of Latin Americans have the joined the occupation, many of them as private contractors hired by U.S. companies like Blackwater and Triple Canopy. July 1, 2008 Eric Stoner In October, Erik Prince, the 39-year-old CEO of Blackwater Worldwide, a leading private security company operating in Iraq, went into damage-control mode. Blackwater employees in Baghdad’s Nisour Square had killed 17 Iraqi civilians the previous month, causing an uproar and the suspension of official diplomatic convoys throughout the country for four days. Making the rounds with the media and testifying before Congress, Prince repeatedly said that his employees are not mercenaries, as critics contend. Citing the definition of a mercenary as “a professional soldier working for a foreign government,” Prince told the House Oversight Committee that in contrast, Blackwater’s employees are “Americans working for America, protecting Americans.” This statement would come as a surprise—and a slap in the face—to the thousands of Latin Americans and others from outside the United States whom the company has hired to fill its contracts in Iraq since the war began. Greystone Limited, a Blackwater affiliate set up in 2004 in the tax haven of Barbados, has recruited Iraq security guards from countries throughout Latin America, including Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, El Salvador, Honduras, and Panama, as journalist Jeremy Scahill has reported. But Blackwater is far from the only such company hiring “third-country nationals,” or employees who are not from the United States or Iraq. In the interest of improving profit margins, private military firms in Iraq are increasingly turning to the developing world for armed guards. Peter Singer, a leading expert on the private security industry at the Brookings Institution, has estimated that there are citizens from 30 countries employed as security contractors in Iraq. While ex-soldiers from the Balkans, Fiji, Nepal, the Philippines, South Africa, and Uganda are all common in Iraq, Latin America has proven to be a particularly fertile recruiting ground for these companies. Latin America, says Adam Isacson, director of programs at the Center for International Policy, is a predictable site for U.S. mercenary companies to recruit personnel. In “what other region of the world are you going to find reasonably westernized people with military experience, in some cases with combat experience, who will work for low wages, who speak a language that a lot of our own military personnel speak,” he asks, noting that ...

I try to keep my coffee consumption down to two cups each morning. And that does it for me. On cold mornings, I find a shot of Irish Whiskey gives it all the zing I need. I once wrote a research paper on coffee consumption. Did you know that, as of 1890, coffee consumption in the U.S. was less than 10 lbs per person, per year? To boost sales, U.S. coffee importers conducted an advertising campaign, featuring posters of Victorian-looking women, with stoned smiles on their faces, sniffing the fumes arising off hot cups of coffee. Thus, by 1900, U.S. coffee consumption increased to 100 lbs per person, per year Nowadays, it's somewhere between 160-170 lbs (which means a lot of it must go down the drain!). Israel is the World's biggest consumer of coffee, closely followed by Sweden.
