Is truth, then, a male-only concept?

If you ask a woman, they will tell you 'no'.

Yeah... blue eyes and blond hair, definitely an Indian trait.

Scott Brown is the same as Mitt Romney, and that’s no good.

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.”

Ummmm hmmmmm. OK -- blue-eyed blond Indians were very common in Massachusetts, and obviously suffered the pains of racial discrimination!

Scott Brown has brown eyes! Using the liberal's criteria, he has a good claim having a Latino or African-American heritage!

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.

“I think I got it right.”

There are exceptions to the “Suicide Pact” of the “true” red meat conservatives” and there are some posters who provide good and useful information. For that reason I tend to walk around the angry piles in the road
that the “Suicide Pact” members leave.

One ten thousandth? That won't get anyone on the tribal rolls around here (except as idiot of the week).

Better be looking at 25% or 50% to claim 'native status', and a verifiable and traceable ancestry to claim 'ancestry'.

That's the first problem.

The second is that to determine ancestry %, use 1/(2^n), where n is the number of generations involved. Denominators are: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, for the first 15 generations back.

No single ancestor gives a 1/10000th bloodline.

Now, I understand that family trees can get complicated, but I think if someone is going to claim something they can benefit from (in this case 'minority affiliation'), they should be able to back it up.

That alone is not a disqualifier, just an external expression of mixed genetic traits.

One of my wife's uncles and one of the grand kids have blonde hair and blue eyes--all are 1/4 or more Chippewa. Others have red hair, but brown eyes, still Chippewa.

My Dad was born in Norman, OK. I’ve heard that almost everyone currently living that was born in Oklahoma is part Cherokee. Maybe I should start claiming minority status like Warren. Might improve my job search.

Is it determined like blackness, by the “one drop” rule?
