Reminds me when I worked with an African-American. His family served in Ethiopia with the Italians and he was born there. White, of course. He used to drive the PC crowd crazy at meetings when he’d announce he was the only true African-American in the meeting.

Yep, it just shows how silly affirmative action, race based and otherwise, really is. You just can't cleanly put most people in a race or ethnicity box any more.

I still remember a high school buddy of mine, who got into Harvard with a full ride .. with the same grades I had. He was from a very rich family.... but a REAL Hispanic one.. from Spain. Yet, he got in because of his supposed oppressed minority status. He thought it was freaking hilarious. He was whiter than I am and much more privileged. LOL.
