re: #209 reflections of a raging redneck

OK, I’m going to have to revise my opinion of her then. Claiming to be aboriginal in an official manner with just a parent’s stories isn’t honest. I thought her claim was a distant heritage and Brown was falsely accusing her of abusing the system.

My personal take is that even though I also have “family stories,” even if I ever proved them, I would never officially claim minority status.

Minority status is meant to offset the poverty, the discrimination, and the racism that is directed at you. It’s not a trophy.
