Our government has been doing this for a very long time. At a previous position, whenever we needed to try and get the inside track on winning a government contract, we'd call our 'Superfecta' contact: Female/Minority/Wounded/Veteran.
Goodnight losers, we got the deal.
Yes. I knew a woman that had a bit of Native American blood and she owned a construction company that always had work due to getting contracts that had government money in them.
Surprise, she was a figurehead. Her husband ran the outfit, but her name was on the paperwork.

Sounds about right for a guy like you . So you use race to move you forward in life .
You should try your own merit maybe , the content of your character .

I prefer Iberia or Conchita. Goya beans, rice and other packaged goods for some odd reason typicaly cost a bit more. And for whatever reason it seems like the goya beans always clump and stick to the bottom of the can. Makes me waste precious seconds of my life i will never get back scraping it out with a spoon or fork. I could have been doing signifigantly more productive things with those few seconds. such as ... nothing at all, for example.

I always find that funny when you meet these people who claim to be "part native" and collect oodles of government benefits, but they look as white as any other ordinary white person lol. I'm sure they did have a few native ancestors quite a ways back, but it's been bred out of them to the point where it doesn't even really count anymore, and they're just taking advantage of an affirmative-action technicality.

especially when there are no races , ethnic origins aye , but races no
at least according to science and the mapping of the human genome, there is ZERO biological evidence for race
