An insurance agent claims he should qualify as a minority business owner, because a DNA test shows he’s 4 percent African — enough, he believes, to make him “a certified black man.”
Ralph Taylor knows on the outside he looks like an average white guy, but he is trying using the results from his AncestryByDNA test to bolster his business in Lynnwood, Washington.
“I’ve always known that I’m multiracial,” the 55-year-old declared to the Washington Post.
The 2010 test showed that he’s 90 percent European, 6 percent indigenous American and 4 percent sub-Saharan African.
This gizmo can turbocharge the DNA-identification process “I’m a certified black man. I’m certified black in all 50 states,” he said. “But the federal government doesn’t recognize me.”

White people could kill affirmative action, if they want to. Everyone get a DNA test, and if there's any sub-Saharan African there, claim it. Everyone else just "self-identify" whenever the question is posed that way, which it usually is. Presto, affirmative action rendered pointless.

Wasn’t one of these DNA testing companies caught falsely telling everyone they had some African blood when they didn’t? Was this the same company?

LMAO.
Reminds me of the Canadian guy who went through a legal process to "become a woman" -- just so he could save money on his auto insurance.

Well, heck. He’s more African than Elizabeth Warren is Native American.

So will there be a legal test to prove 1/64 black/african/mulatto origin, as existed in much of the US until WW II?

If a person can choose their gender then they should be able to choose their race.

Don’t female owned businesses also get preferences for government contracts.
