Why can't white people just claim to be black?

I don't understand why we can't just call the left on this bluff? Challenge this thing and make the courts deal with admitting the illegality of affirmative action policies.

In my industry, on certain projects (usually public), we have to show a certain percentage of MBE (minority business enterprise) participation, in order to secure the project.

What would stop say a white guy from filing his business as an MBE business and claim to be black? Is there some sort of scientific process to proving someone to be a "minority"? I say call the bluff, see them twist up into knots with their failed logic, and find out what happens.

I mean i could. But i get a check for $1000 a month from the white privilege society. Im not going to just give that up just so i am free to go around calling everyone who disagrees with me a racist.

I'm sure there are a number of Chicago that do just that.

I know listing the construction biz in the wife's name has been common for years due to city and state rules concerning contracts.

Certainly whites can identify as black.

The rule is that no one except the individual gets to identify themselves.

Look what happens when someone calls BS on a man identifying as a woman.

They get called out castigated, canceled, and informed that they are evil and that no one but the individual has the right to identify themselves.

Neither Ritchie Valens nor Selena spoke Spanish

Valens had to learn the lyrics to "La Bamba" from his grandmother

For years I've been checking NA anytime I'm asked. It's true, more or less. I've got family records of Cherokee lineage. 23&Me shows substantial Southwestern Indian lineage but it's Cherokee. They're not very accurate when it comes to NA. By culture and upbringing I'm Redneck-Irish, FWIW.

I’m Native American as well.

From Webster’s Dictionary
Native - belonging to a particular place by birth

I was born in America; therefore, I’m a native. AKA Native American

I have been identifying as a 6'10" black man but no takers from the NBA yet.

Maybe I can get a gig with the WNBA? I'll have to check it out.
