If that’s the game then play the game.

Elizabeth Warren got away with the lying.

If she had been taken to court and had her credentials stripped and salaries clawed back the youngsters would have to reconsider the costs vs the benefits of faking it.

Since there were no consequences for her lying the message is clear.

You can lie and get away with it—easily.

"Forty-eight percent of them falsely claimed to be of Native American descent."

I was born in the United States. I wonder if that counts?

FWIW...

Beyond multiregional and simple out-of-Africa models of human evolution

In any case, the term race, like gender, has now been rendered meaningless.

I am part Native American. But never helped me get a job. My skill-set got me my jobs.

The HVAC tech that installed my air-conditioner was looking for a new career in software engineering. He lives on the reservation immediately north of my city. He started in the right direction, but made some bad choices with respect to drug use. The last time we spoke, he was jailed awaiting trial. The outcome was possibly prison. The trial date has come and gone. I suspect he is incarcerated now.

From the article’s university flack:

“race “does not stand alone as a criteria””

Yeah—well neither does perfect SAT scores.

Young folks are not fooled by the crude attempt at deflection by the universities—they know race liars have a significant advantage.

I read once that many members of the American Indian nations have mostly European DNA.

Or, maybe that was one particular nation - I’ll have to check further later.

Uhhhh...notice the pic at the article source. Are those White students with their hands outstretched in the air at a certain angle?

I wonder why they chose THAT pic for the article.

But I thought we were the most racially oppressive country in the world. The one country where a minority student could catch a break or get a fair shake. Someone needs to get this story to Joy Reid ASAP.

I wonder how the media will handle this story. If they report it straight up they are going to have to at least touch on the why’s of why white students feel it necessary to say they are POC on college forms. That doesn’t fit the meme.

It’s not a “Lie” if you simply choose to identify as such.

Choosing to check a box for some extra money makes perfect sense to me.

Make em play by their own rules.

To: Tell It Right
This is the letter I like to send around for black history month.

Black History and Abortion

Black History Month should remind people Democrats professed an apparent contradiction as they seceded to begin the Civil War.

They had demanded protection where slavery existed, and the right to take their “peculiar property” into the territories. They had demanded trading their property across state lines and that states enforce the Fugitive Slave Law. Yet during prior and final Congressional debates and in the Confederate constitution, Southerners joined near universal condemnations of international slave trading.

This contradiction vanished when understanding the South was being overrun with its property. Democrat Senator Alfred Iverson of Georgia said before Congress in 1861, “We know well that we never can enjoy equal possession of the territories without protection of our property….. They increase, according to the last census bill, at the rate of 32% every ten years.” The South needed new slave states and plantations to absorb the increasing population.

Over one hundred fifty years later black communities provide voting plurality to the Democrat party and adopt their Pro-Choice sacrament of abortion. According to the Centers for Disease Control, black women in 2019 accounted for 38% of abortions, though blacks constituted 14% of total population. Applying antebellum population growth to the period after the Roe v. Wade decision (1/22/73) would mean 91 million blacks instead of the 47 million currently living.

So, what benefits override the contradiction of providing the Democratic party 90% voting support, compared to the antebellum mandate for contributing 60% of black humanity to enrich the Democrat slave master’s political status?

Really. I don’t know of anyone who pretends to be white.

Or Jewish, excepting the occasional politician.

Agreed. After all, Africa is the Cradle of Humankind. Therefore, I identify as African-American.

I do plan on changing my name at some point to Quadarius Jefferson and moving to Cali.

It's almost like everyone wants to be part American Indian. lol

Which is even more amazing since, at one time not that long ago, any Native American blood was considered something shameful and needed to be covered up.

As far as this kids 'checking a box' on an application - why not? Turn these universities institutional racism back on them. What are they going to do about it?
