Then again, I remember reading about a white immigrant from South Africa who got in trouble for checking African-American on his school application forms. He pointed out that his family had lived in Africa for hundreds of years. The liberal administrators were not happy.
I can't understand why? Makes me giggle just reading it.
On a related note, When I filled out my census form for the 2000 census I wrote down how many people lived at my house and that was it.
A census worker kept calling leaving messages saying I needed to fill in the rest of the info. I ignored the messages finally they came calling. The lady asked if she could come in so she could get my vitally important info I told her no but we could talk on the porch.
She asked all kinds of questions how many bathrooms bedrooms etc. income all kinds of crap I Answered all of them "I don't know."
Finally she got to racial make-up of the people living in my house. She asked what race I and my wife and daughter were so I looked her directly in the eye and told her "I am Jewish-Irish-Australian Aborigine, my wife is Swedish and my Daughter is Inuit. She looked at me and said "so your daughter is adopted?" I answered "Nope, she is our natural born child."
She wasn't a happy camper when she stormed off the porch.
About 12 years ago, my hubby had a co-worker from South Africa who did the same thing. I wish I could have been there when this blonde Afrikaner walked in. LMAO! They were a little more forgiving of the faux pas. LOL!
I have a friend who’s son-in-law is the same. He’s a white South African immigrant who is now very proud American citizen.
I know a guy like that who claims to have gotten a full ride AA scholarship at Tulane for his senior year, once his U.S. citizenship came through. The black admin in the student aid office was not amused.
