It used to be a practice among the light-skinned community to attempt to pass for white. Now it is a practice among the who-knows-what-color-skinned community to pass for black. The more things change...
It needs to be 100%.
Break the racist system.
If that was their choice it sounds like they were opting for a nonstandard definition of “Native American”: native-born American.
Great comment! And when challenged about their ethnicity, they should double down and insist that they are Black and/or Hispanic. If they are asked to live in a pretend world where men think they are women, surely they are entitled to view themselves as a multi-ethnic person.
Hey, worked for Sen. Warren. Besides, according to the woke crowd, if you identify as something, then that’s what you are.
“school’s diversity efforts “
Probably the biggest scam going.
Who are they to say what somebody’s race is?
He found out he was something like 1/16th Cherokee, and used that to get a scholarship to get into law school. SMH...
I am mostly Caucasian, and I have checked the box of a minority to gain advantage. I think we all try to game any system. Especially in surveys and a census, I try to fool Big Brother.
My son and daughter both filed for college as Hispanic. If you put either one of them in a police lineup and asked someone to pick out the Hispanics neither one of them would ever be chosen. No look, no accent, nothing. But if you spent 30 seconds with their Peruvian mother you would see why they applied the way they did. You have to take advantage of every opportunity.
If gender is an artificial construct, then why not race?
Hmmm... I wonder if that will have any effect on the overall grade average for blacks.. (?)
More power to them. They are responding to an unjust, wrong and unconstitutional system. If they can get away with it, good for them!
Giving special privileges based on the country of origin of one’s ancestors is completely unjust and unfair. It is wrong. Any law that “allows” it is invalid and not binding.
Reparations are owed to Whites, who have been excluded from the spoils system.
It is an artificial construct.
Scientifically speaking, there is no such thing as race.
The Lizzy Warren special.
I think that’s fair.
Once upon a time I identified as Native American based upon my father’s assertion that one of my mother’s ancestors was Shawnee. It was easy to believe since all five of my brothers had brown eyes and hair from dark brown to black. Early on I took one of those DNA tests. The results showed that you couldn’t get much whiter, all northwestern European. Not a smidgen of NA blood. I never checked that box again.
