Intolerance!

I myself identified as a platypus for FOUR years, and it was NO PROBLEM.

But we were told all these immigrants were completely vetted. You cannot even trust birth certificates from most third world countries,and Hawaii. They are either forgeries or fraudulent real ones.

Using the ol’ Crocodile Dundee defense......I asked the tribal elders when I was born, they said I was born in the summertime.

He should be allowed to play on any basketball team he likes, and to think otherwise would be racist and bigoted.

It would be very interesting to follow the money and find out who supplied the “scholarship”.

A Muslim in a Catholic uniform, how quaint.

It is of course perfectly acceptable for a Muslim to deceive an infidel, so what's the problem here? /sarcasm

He could call himself a chick and play on the girls team. That would make him untouchable.

Probably thought he was only 28, just an honest mistake. /s

He was in Canada and didn’t know how old he was. Cruz was in Texas and didn’t know he was Canadian.

That is entirely reasonable...and we should applaud their* extreme bravery when they* make that announcement.

* using he/she is apparently no longer considered proper, either.

Well, now...maybe he “felt” like he was of high school age. But more important to today’s culture, I wonder what his choice of bathroom is.

What difference does it make?!? Obama is been bringing in gray haired illegal minors. A few decades here or there.

"I aways keep asking what is the specific age that I was born...

Uhhh... that would be zero, and then you start counting from there.

Apparently there is no high standard of intellect required to receive the scholarship or to attend this school.
I understand many non black people find it difficult to tell someone’s actual age, but immediately, he looked well over high school age to me.

False personal documents. Maybe he’ll run for President of the US one day since the US no longer scrutinizes birth certificates and citizenship authenticity.
