It is a little different for Native Americans.
If you claim to be black, it isn't very hard to tell if you are lying or not.
Same goes with claiming to be hispanic, asian, etc.
If you look at my kids, my wife, my wife's family, etc. you cannot tell be looking at them that their heritage goes back to a particular tribe. Does it matter to me? Nope. I don't give a shit about heritage, I really don't. I couldn't tell you one thing about my heritage, not one.
However, to them it is important, so I support that.
Here is what I don't get.
How is Affirmative Action fair if we can claim whatever heritage we want?
The points you guys are making leave me with even less respect for AA than I had before. Before, I thought it was an unfair system, now, after reading your posts, I think it is a farce.
