Prosecutors had sought four months behind bars and a fine of $20,000 for Klapper, arguing that lying about her son’s race

‘The Great Klapper Caper’???

Looks like they were caught in a dragnet.

Anything out of Eastern Europe is often lost because of the different alphabet and the subjective writing of last names in English at Ellis Island.

Not just out of Eastern Europe either ...

Family folklore for my family, backed by some documentation, indicates that my Irish great great grandfather's name was Koinneach McKenzie when he arrived on Ellis Island. He was originally from a small, now non-existent, village called either "Castle Leigh" or "Castleigh" in the hinterlands of Ireland. The end result of passing through Ellis Island, according to our best family guess, was that, as a result of his thick backwoods Irish brogue and a less-than-attentive customs agent, he left as Kenneth Costley, mixing his original first name and the town he came from.

As Yaakov Smirnoff always used to say, "What a country!"

Um, what if this child identified as this ethnicity?

I mean, if someone can identify as female when they are biologically male, or vice-versa, why is identifying as different ethnicity an issue?

Hoist 'em on their own petard.

Unfair that it isn’t applied to other liars.

One of our relatives is mixed race, married to a white wife. They intentionally classified the kids as ethnic minority for future benefits. Never mind the youngest is blonde ... However, it is more likely to stand because Daddy is actually mixed and legally minority.

Whites don’t have the privileged status in society when it is more beneficial to NOT identify as white.

But a man can claim he’s a woman and compete against women in college sports thereby depriving them of their rightful field of competition.

Instead of a puny jail sentence, I think they should be hit with really heavy fines. Since they had no problem spending money to get their little snowflakes into college make them pay big time.

I thought the same thing. If you are a man and can say you identify with a girl then you can use the girl’s bathroom. Seems like if you are white and feel like a black person when you are doing your college apps then you should just let them know and it’s fine.

I started checking “other” when it is on the form. Makes them wonder!

I don’t understand why the DOJ is so interested in this. Seems like they could use these resources on more important things.

So, cleaning woman Clara Clifford discovered some clean copper clappers or clangers were copped from a closet by Cleveland’s Claude Cooper the kleptomaniac. I’d clobber him, too.

If you go those DNA testing websites they will “surprisingly” find you are any number of races you never thought you were. It’s just their little contribution to the struggle.

I like the ones where the DNA test is done online.

Some relatives visited the old Russian Orthodox church in Danbury which was established when my maternal ancestors came over, and has since been torn down. It actually received financial support from the Tsar. Another factor in those mashed-up last names: The last two letters written were a code for the country they were from. Country borders shifted so much, that close relatives can easily have very different last names.

My "gypsy" great great grandfather somehow ended up marrying into the family and then they returned to Eastern Europe for awhile. His northern African, Iberian Moors, possibly with some US slave time mixed in name is forever lost. What's sad is there's no family lore or heirlooms that go back any further than the 1870s.

Why can a man identify as a woman, but can’t identify as black?
