Date: December 14th, 2005 2:18 AM Author: Crystalline Affirmative Action Area Did you pull that out of your ass, or do you have a source for that?
Also, your definition is recursive and does not include a base case.
HTH! |

Date: December 14th, 2005 2:23 AM Author: bipolar elastic band immigrant So, Vir, did you claim that you are Black on your apps so that you could undeservedly get an AA boost? Please be honest.... (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=319298&forum_id=2#4555607) |

Date: December 14th, 2005 2:25 AM Author: Crystalline Affirmative Action Area No, but only because I couldn't find a distant black relative. There are rumors in my family that one of my great-grandmothers was black, but no one in my family wanted to talk about it. Thus, I could not avail myself of this opportunity.

Date: December 14th, 2005 2:26 AM Author: Crystalline Affirmative Action Area Again, can you provide a source for your definition of blackness?
Also, can you explain how your definition, which explains blackness in terms of blackness, explains anything whatsoever? |

So there is no verification? I've got a 3.0 and a 168 so, yo, lemmee in?
Why the hell wouldnt people claim this? |

Date: December 14th, 2005 2:20 AM Author: bipolar elastic band immigrant I have seen Black people who have only one Black parent or one Black grandparent, and they look similar to that; he is no more white than Mariah Carey or Nicole Richie.... If at least one of his parents or grandparents is Black, then he had a right to claim that he is Black; if not, then no.... It is also possible that he claimed white on his apps, but decided to join the Black students' organization; white people can join such an organization....

Date: December 14th, 2005 2:23 AM Author: Crystalline Affirmative Action Area YOU ARE DEFINING BLACKNESS IN TERMS OF BLACKNESS!
DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! |
|
Date: December 14th, 2005 2:31 AM Author: Crystalline Affirmative Action Area Your definition of black implies that any person with one black parent is black. But then since he is black, his kids must be black. And his kids must be black. AD INFINITUM.
One can easily construct an inductive proof using your definition that ANY PERSON WITH ONE BLACK ANCESTOR IS BLACK. |

Unless you check hispanic, in which case all you need it a former Nazi argentinian grandfather.
Or Native American, where you just need to have verification that one of your colonial ancestors raped an Indian.
Black AA is really the easiest to verify AND the most justifiable.

Date: December 14th, 2005 2:26 AM Author: Odious step-uncle's house I am easily as disadvantaged as those peeps. Actually, much more so because they're at Harvard.
What can I be to be URM? I could easily be Spanish. I might even go for Black like that Rock Newman guy from boxing. |

Date: December 14th, 2005 2:50 AM Author: Grizzly nighttime property hunting ground I have no problem with people claiming to be whatever they identify with. The people you linked to at least are involved in those organizations.
What I have a problem with is someone who puts down "hispanic" on his application and when he gets to school and is contacted by a hispanic organization, he replies, "oh, I'm white, I don't do the ethnic stuff."
My roommate in college had to contact a person like that, and I can tell you my roommate was really pissed off. |
