Reported today on Boston TV that her great, great, great grandmother was an indian. That makes her 1/64?
That’s a pretty thin resume, but it might be enough for the Globe to cover for her. “Her native American bloodline has been established, despite insinuations by the Brown campaign to the contrary.”
I believe the minimum for listing yourself as a minority is one-eighth. If you go back five or six generations it is likely we would all be some kind of minority. And, by the way, very likely we would all have ancestors who were slaves at one point or another. So her claim is bogus even if this the research is correct, which I doubt can be verified. People back then died early,husbands and wives remarried, and records were full of errors. Not to worry though, is she can claim minority status on such a slim reed then we can all do it. So let’s have at it, we are all minorities now, we all qualify, so let the box checking begin.
