Mistaken belief that young folks who were born immersed in things digital are somehow in a state of grace and older folks are cursed by their age and lack of digital conditioning. Arrogant and insulting division of generations into different camps first proposed by Marc Prensky but unfounded on any survey data.
With an insulting tone worthy of the original American nativists who hated immigrants (especially Catholic ones), Marc Prensky speaks of pre-iPod humans (digital immigrants) contemptuously. This is simply digital nativism, a kind of generational prejudice that is ill founded and unsubstantiated.

Get the Digital nativism mug.Used by the native peoples on the reserve. They refer to everyone as their brothers becasue they belive that everyone is a brother from another mother. Usually used on freindly terms.

Get the Native brother mug.The notion that Arabs are true natives of all the many countries they have colonized. In Egypt this manifests as denial of the indigenousness of Copts, in Algeria of Kabyle and other Berber peoples, in Iraq and Syria of Assyrians and Chaldeans, and in Israel this manifests as the slogan "Jesus was Palestinian."
The aim of Arab nativism is to simultaneously erase the many indigenous peoples of the MENA and assert that only the colonizers are truly indigenous.

Get the Arab nativism mug.The original peoples of the United States. They're also the only race that you need a piece of paper that says you're of native blood. While more Native Americans are becoming more aggravated by the process of government determining who's really "Indian". Some nations are beginning to talk about dropping it completely because it's decreasing the Native American population. This is also a politically correct term used to refer to the indigenous people of the American Continents.
There are also many African Americans that are descended of Native Americans but because of the "Blood Quantum Law" and the fact that most people of mixed African American and Native American descent don't live on reservations. Many African Americans don't take an interest in that part of their heritage and as a result the Native American population continues to drop, however there has been a recent increase in more people with that mixed background are becoming enrolled into their respective tribe/tribes.
