This cracks me up. More “darker-skinned” people of any ethnicity should do this, and show our racial spoils system for the un-American farce it is.
My lily-white kid asked what his chances of getting into trouble would be if he declared himself 1/32 Cherokee (for an NSF grad grant). I think Lizzy Warren inspired him.
No, he didn’t go that route, but he observed that it was a huge advantage.
Agree! I get a douche vibe from him thpugh. I don’t mark my ethnicity on anything anymore since I learned from a government worker who told me we just change what you put down anyway! LOL but seriously racial spoils was part of America from the birth of this country up till 1967 but use quotas to fix that isn’t the way. Same with reparations...oh snap I brought up the r-word.
My second oldest daughter had a Mexican descended math teacher her senior year of high school. This teacher hated my daughter. She sat through his class and then went to her Physics teacher for instruction in math. The math teacher had majored in Statistics or some such in college. He did not know Calculus, and he had no clue how to teach it. I think he was working as a teacher in order to pay off his student loans. He often played poker in class with the students instead of teaching them calculus. :( A few weeks ago, daughter learned that this guy went to law school right after she graduated. He made it through law school but failed the bar exam. His Mexican descended fiancé recently completed medical school. She also failed to pass her licensure exams. Go figure. The exams must be racist!
