BTW, if this the case, then my entire family, my kids, my husband and my grandkids are going to claim Native American on the rolls from now on.
Minority benes here we come.
About 10 years ago a friend of mine graduated from College with a degree in Engineering. He wanted to go to work for the State and have a cushy job. He took the test and came in first place but wasn’t hired. He was passed over by a less qualified African-American. He was really depressed about losing that job and I told him to fill out another application and claim Native-American status since he had one great grandfather that was Native-American. He said that he had no proof and only family rumors and I informed him that they never asked for proof that he was white did they? He did as I said and took the test and this time he came in 3rd but was hired. Asking him to prove his status as a Native-American and not asking that same proof of a white person or an African-American would be discrimination in my opinion.
