| "tyler09, people like me? I apologize for having native american in my blood and trying to use every advantage that I can to get into the ONLY school that I want to get into. And secondly, if the rule is 1/32, then how is this "cheating the system" or lying? The colleges set the rules, not me or anyone else. They are the ones who established this number and I just want to use it to my advantage. If I really need a tribal ID, then I guess I'm out of luck but I really don't think that is the case."
First off, i will say that i have no respect for you as a person. Yes, maybe if you were black, hispanic, or native american, it would be acceptable to use that factor as an advantage. But don't play that "Im native american bull ****" when you really arent. If someone has to ask how to use their 1/32 native american heritage, clearly they are not true native americans. You share no relation to native american culture, and thus, by trying to use a thing like this to your advantage, you are simply being on of the jerks who ****s over the rest of us whites by claiming to be something you are not.
That being said, i have no problem with the advantages that are reaped by other races, since they do serve to help people who might be at a disadvantage racially or economically. But people who try and abuse the system lack integrity and honesty.
And you MUST be a registered tribe member for any advantages. But you don't even count as a Native American. Obviously, you are white, given that you seem unable to justify your 1/32 heritage native american as being part of your culture. You come strictly from the "American" Culture, not tribal culture.
