[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did putting this down benefit her?  Was their affirmative action in registering to join the Bar?  If not, what difference does this make? [/quote]

You don't think her background was considered when she was applying for jobs?[/quote]

I see nothing here indicating that she put down American Indian when applying for a job - just on her form when she registered for the Bar.  [/quote]

So, she claimed to be white on all other forms she filled out.  
That means she lied on this one.  Do you not see that as a problem?[/quote]

I don't even know if race was on the other forms she filled out.  Maybe she saw herself as both races, and sometimes put down one or the other.   Until you can tell me where she put down American Indian and show that it benefitted her this is a "nothing burger".   [/quote]

Give me a break. I'm close to her age, and we all knew not to do that--even then--when applying to schools, jobs, applications, etc. [/quote]
