In grad school in Arizona I had a classmate of Indian descent. She was not qualified to be there but got a similar free ride so she took advantage of it. She called it “riding your feather.”
She called it “riding your feather.”

I like her sense of humor.
I like it.
I worked for a large electronics company in Texas (ahem) and we were required once a year to review the 'employee data sheet' with each employee.
One year when reviewing one of my engineering technicians, Juan Rios, we called him Johnny (As American as anyone I knew) he told me he wanted to change his race from Mexican to Hispanic.
I said what? And why? He said that he thought the Hispanics got more benefits than Mexicans. I called the personnel manager and he said, "Bill, just write down on the sheet whatever he calls himself". I did. End of story.
