The Malone brothers retook the test, this time identifying themselves as black.

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.
