I’d like to see every last white kid check the ‘Native American’ box on college and employment applications. And have a good story ready: “When I was a little kid, my great uncle told me that my great-grandfather was part Cherokee.”

Then sit back and collect minority set-asides and scholarships. How could they stop you from doing that?

I have some. But I don’t think I have enough.

Guess I should check. I hate the idea of giving front-companies access to such.

But then, I wear a tinfoil hat.

"I’d like to see every last white kid check the ‘Native American’ box on college and employment applications."

Admission committees got wise to that after Warren decided to claim she was an Indian, and now requires proof -- a forebear named on one of the Indian tribal census roles. (DNA isn't enough.)

I have Native American DNA -- it's not uncommon. And I'm as blond as Elizabeth Warren, probably blonder. Passage to North America for the pioneers was not cheap and it was dangerous, and so the M/F ratio of the early pioneers was not exactly 1:1. There was an excess of European men.

As presented in "The Last of the Mohicans", Native Americans were disappearing by the time of the French and Indian War -- for multiple reasons, but including that they were assimilating with the European population.

(Barack Obama was not the first biracial politician who was elected to national office in the United States.)
