[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]The point was that people don't discriminate against the Am. Indian culture anymore, [/b]so yes, I was serious. You, or the other PP, seems to think that because PP's grandfather had to hide his NA ancestry and lose his culture that being 1/8 or 1/16 NA still should allow for special treatment even though they are now middle class. It doesn't. If, however, a 1/8 or 1/16 NA still lived on a Reservation and was dirt poor, then yes, you should be given some special treatment. But the PP is middle class, so no, you don't get special treatment. If OP was thinking that checking the NA box would garner some special treatment in a college app, then yes, you probably would. But, I'm guessing that the College would not think that when you check that box that you are 1/16 NA. If you are 1/16 NA, then you should check more than one box.[/quote] You must be kidding. (I'm a different PP.)[/quote]
