I always tick the "Other" box when filling out a form since, short of a genetic test, I really have no way of knowing or proving who my ancestors slept with or were raped by. But according to this legal opinion, apparently I now have to check with others in the "Other" category to see if they consider me part of their group.
I wonder if liberals ever consider how silly all of their contortions look to rational people.
Oh come on, liberals, consider AND rational all in the same short sentence ??? The answer is not just no, it’s HELL NO !
We all should start our own group, known as “Other.” ;-)
Some sources say “Other” is for “race unknown.” But probably most people could make that claim. My ancestors hail from the Mediterranean. Our family looks like we cover the gamut, and our surname sounds ambiguous.
If enough people argued about which category they fit into, maybe the gov’t would drop the categories.
Maybe Ms. Dolezal is on to something. LOL.
In 1913 one Sicilian brother immigrates to NYC, another to Buenos Aires.
Both raise families and their offspring always married within the Italian ethny.
102 years later, a BA cousin immigrates to NYC and moves in with one of his distant cousins.
The BA cousin, despite identical ancestry and appearance, is considered Hispanic and eligible for all the perks, while his NYC cousin is simply a boring old white guy.
Even with testing, you can't prove all of your ancestry. I had the Ancestry.com test, and it showed English/Irish/Scandanavian/Iberian peninsula/Italian, plus smidgeons of Asian (from the "-stan" countries) and African (Bantu tribe). Some coworkers were surprised that, with my name, I have no German ancestry. If I look at my family tree, my name did originate in Germany--but the German genes didn't stick around over the next 300 years.
