There you go!
I largely agree.
Of course, if the soft-hearted, soft-headed folks want to give gobs of low interest business loans because of 1/16th ancestry (never mind the Frenchmen and Dutchmen who were anything but poor), well, a loan's a loan I say.

But where's the list of the prescribed tribes.
Cheyenne and Ojibwa are on it, but how about the Carib?

Hey look at it this way. Guys like Means and Churchill derive their pride by claiming 3/16ths Indian ancestory or whatever. That's pathetic. The accomplishment of being an Indian is no more meaningful that managing to be born blond or with a mole on your lip.

What matters is what you do. Means is an activist hanger on that spends all his time insisting on special treatment cause his great grandfather drew a raw deal. Churchill's accomplishments appear to be seriously tainted by plagerism and fabrication. Although these are supposedly the greatest sins in academia I doubt if he'll be held to account.

Still they are frauds that in the end result have wasted their lives to no purpose and now people know it.
