Interesting.
If someone wants to discriminate against me, I only need to appear or possess a drop of minority blood.
If I want to obtain some benefit, real or otherwise, I have to prove some undeclared amount of blood resides in my body.
FYI, I don't know what kind of process you went through for your kids to "secure" their heritage or whatever way you want to refer to it. Someone should have told you the basic fact--you don't have to register as anything to claim Native American heritage. I wonder what you and others considered their heritage to be before obtaining official recognition of their status.
But that is an interesting working hypothesis you've got going there: that someone falsely claimed his heritage on an application, which then became the basis for his hiring in, presumably, some form of reverse discrimination perpetuated against a better applicant who had the strange misfortune of being white in the 1970's.
Makes sense, sorta.
