Interestingly enough, the Nazis had that all figured out. If you had three or four Jewish grandparents, you were a Jew. If you had two, you were a Mischling of the first degree. If you had just one, you were a Mischling of the second degree.

Mischlings usually escaped the fate of the full Jews.

Today’s left could learn so much from the Nazis. And they have so much in common to begin with. So it’s a natural fit.

So tell the staffer that you identify as the race corresponding with the lowest price.


Works for me ;)

Of course; it exposes their free ride/lowered expectations, and endangers the gravy train.

I think a lot of the commenters either didn’t read the article or didn’t understand the point the organization was making.
