Native Americans don't get vertigo

[snopes]

Comment: I was wondering if you can confirm or disprove the claim
that Native Americans have a unique physiology that prevents them from
experiencing vertigo? I've heard this as an explanation of why so many
workers in high-rise construction projects, particularly early-century New
York skyscrapers, were Native American.

This claim sounds suspiciously like one of ignorance (particularly
considering the time period that it's linked to) as a way to undermine the
expertise of a non-white individual, much like the "blacks are better
athletes because they were bred to be that way genetically" argument.
