[QUOTE="Cloture, post: 69569254, member: 379062"] Allow me to clarify my original comment. If a person comes along and thinks they can qualify for certain NA benefits (such as a scholarship) because one great-great grandmother was ostensibly Cherokee, that isn't good enough. Such was all I meant by that remark. There are many cases when race *is* more than checking a box on a form and assuming no one will ask. Paternity tests are a booming business precisely because biological parenthood can be very lucrative. Domestic courts don't let people choose their own family. And discrimination lawsuits actually require evidence of people being what they say they are. You can't say you were picked on for being Jewish when exactly no one thought you were Jewish. The point of this is that there are many situations where race and/or biological parenthood are far from arbitrary. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
