[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does the ethnicity stop, though? I'm always so confused about this. I'm 1/2 hispanic via my mother who is 100%. I've always just checked "white" for my kids recognizing that they are more white than hispanic. But am I wrong? My DH is not technically white but there's no box for him.

You’re fretting and overstating the importance of this.  When it comes to diversity outreach, the main focus is now and long has been on African Americans.  As it should be, since this country has screwed them over in unimaginable ways for hundreds of years.  All of this other stuff is just noise.  None of you is being denied anything. [/quote]

Once the liberals opened the Pandora’s Box of racial spoils there was no putting the troubles back in. They said “this race should get this and that because reasons” and the obvious and predictable consequence was other races trying to see what they could also get, because reasons. You can try and dismiss everyone else and tell them to shut up but it’s not going to happen.[/quote]

Colleges should require high-re pictures and conduct detailed analysis of skin pigmentation to root out this unethical behavior.[/quote]

But as we know, the American rule is “just one drop” makes you diverse, and this cannot necessarily be detected by photos. Everyone will have to submit a detailed genealogy going back many generations![/quote]

I'm Asian but 23 and me says I have African and Native American "drops".

I think I'll apply the one drop rule for my family too.  [b]Oh wait, they'll say that a black person's one drop caused discrimination against their ancestors so race based affirmative action in 2022 is some sort of absolution of sin type of redemption.

And the discrimination against my kids in 2022 is all in my head.

Your ignorance is appalling.  The “one drop of blood” doctrine is not about diversity.  It was the doctrine in Jim Crow America that the oppressive restrictions on Black people should also apply to mixed race people.

You’ve demonstrated that you really are too ignorant to opine about race in America. [/quote]

See bolded. You've demonstrated you lack reading comprehension skills. [/quote]

Two, I couldn’t make heads or tails of that word salad.  If you think that demonstrates poor reading comprehension, then bless your heart.

I was responding to the posted who wrote “ the American rule is “just one drop” makes you diverse.”   In fact, the people who invented that concept were t concerned about diversity but so called “racial purity.”  They believed that “one drop” meant you could be denied the vote, denied due process, denied education, denied health care, denied housing, unlawfully detained, or lynched with no repercussions whatsoever for your murderers.

Today, the same people who suffered those indignities are still systematically discriminated against in policing (according to a raft of studies funded by police departments), systematically discriminated against by the courts (according to multiple studies funded by top law schools), discriminated against in education, and discriminated against in lending (e.g. Bank of America - whose executives famously joked in 2009 that they made “junk loans to mud people” and who are back in the news again for racial discrimination in 2022).  The people who suffered those indignities are locked up for years for talking meanly to police officers (Brittany Martin) while whites who literally tried to overthrow democracy get a few weeks in jail.

But lots of posters on this forum are mad that little Johnny will need to go to a #20 school instead of #19 because (they imagine) of URM admits.  They think this is FAR more important than 400 years of ongoing genocide and brutal oppression.   Honestly, I’m praying for y’all.  [/quote]
