Okay, let’s go there: I am the product of a traveling salesman and a teenage girl having an illicit affair in the late 1950’s. She went to a home for unwed mothers in another state and gave me up for adoption. I have absolutely no clue who or what my father was, what race he was, genetics, or anything. I did meet my birth mother through CUB near the end of her life and she appeared to be a white Midwesterner. Going by what Rachel is saying above, can I claim to be black or Hispanic? LOL
Your claim is already 1000 percent more solid than hers
It all depends on what your ‘truth’ is.
“Going by what Rachel is saying above, can I claim to be black or Hispanic?”
Or, better yet, Native American which would give you a cut of the casinos. Just pick a wealthy tribe.
Wow.
I am the result of a relationship of a teenage girl in the early 1960’s, and was put up for adoption. Have never found out who my birth mother was, but I look about as black as she did when a teenager.
Now who’s to say. I can claim I’m a damn Samoan and dare some jerk in the media to call me a liar.
I swear we all ought to do it to prove the idiocy of all of this including the Bruce issue.
