Cure for Racial Dishonesty

There have been several notable cases of racial fakery. Years ago, then-law professor Elizabeth "Fauxcahontas" Warren falsely claimed that her great-grandfather was Cherokee Indian. A diversity-starved Harvard University jumped at the opportunity to hire her. She was so good at the racial fakery that a 1997 Fordham Law Review article lauded now-Sen. Warren as Harvard Law School's "first woman of color."

Racial fakery for private gain has been going on for decades. In 1990, there was a highly publicized case of outright racial lying. Two white men, twins Philip and Paul Malone, took the Boston Fire Department test. They failed. It turned out that the Boston Fire Department was under a consent decree mandating racial preferences, back then euphemistically called affirmative action but today called diversity. The Malone brothers retook the test, this time identifying themselves as black. Again their scores weren't high enough to be hired as whites, but they qualified under the lower standards for blacks and were hired. They worked for 10 years, until their racial fakery was discovered during a promotion proceeding. They were fired.

“There should be DNA criteria to accurately determine one’s race.”

And chromosome criteria to accurately determine male and female.

If Americans are going to have laws that mandate special privileges in college admission and employment, we must prevent racial fakery. We cannot permit a white or Asian person to take an opportunity that by law belongs to a black person.

Why should any opportunity belong, by law, to one race over another? The only time race should matter for a job is when you're casting for a movie, TV show, or play. We need to make everything color-blind and then the "fakery" will stop.

Special interest for special people. Still not quite sure how this whole equality thing works by granting special dispensation based on being “different”. Guess nobody bothered to look up “equal” in their funk and wagnells.

Special privileges by race are illegal and unconstitutional. Giving them a nice name doesn’t change anything.

Actually “human race” should be the only race that matters, if they were really against racism rather than trying to perpetuate it.
