So much for affirmative action.

Exactly! Elizabeth Warren just kicked-off what may be the inevitable (and welcome) destruction of Affirmative Action. The left has chipped away at standardized testing, but they rolled out Affirmative Action without instituting any objective way to test whether people are whatever race or ethnicity they claim to be...and science now has a way (supposedly) to test race and ethnicity. I know a person of mixed race — White (European) and Chinese — who looks Native American and checked “Native American” on her (undergrad) MIT college application...and got in. She was a strong applicant, but not a sure thing by any means. She was not registered with any tribe, nor did she claim to be, and offered no “proof” that she was Native American other than checking that box. (Again, she did “look” very much what you'd think a Native American girl would look like...despite being European/Chinese.)

Can you imagine what is going to happen when 16- and 17- year-olds start sends their own — or other peoples’?! — DNA off to 23andME and get back pie charts with “proof” that they are gypsies?!
