During oral arguments in two cases involving Harvard University and the University of North Carolina, Justice Samuel Alito joined other conservatives on the bench to cast doubt on allowing the consideration of race in college and university admissions decisions.
In one exchange, Alito wondered what metrics were used for determining heritage.
“We rely on self-reporting,” said North Carolina Solicitor General Ryan Park, who is defending affirmative action policies at UNC.
"One great-grandparent," Alito said. "Are you going to make me continue to go on?"
"Right, I think that as we go on, I agree that it would seem less plausible

I am verifiably 1/256 Cherokee. In terms of history, that’s an interesting fact. As far as anything else goes, it’s irrelevant.

“Yeah, so I think in that circumstance it would be very unlikely that that person was telling the truth…”
So, does that mean that Warren needs to pay back all of the income and benefits that she received from Harvard for being a minority hire?

Lizzie Warren's DNA was analyzed by a California professor, and he could ony impute Lizzie Warren's native american heritge by using South American native DNA. Native American tribes in the U.S. refuse to participate in DNA determinations, arguing that ribal registration is the determinant of Native American status.
Even at that, Lizzie's DNA containing imputed Native American DNA was less than that of the typical Eyropean.
Eveey North Carolinian I met during my time in the USAF, claimed some degree of Cherokee blood. Would UNC establish a 'one drop' rule ? That is racist. Would UNC require the applicant to submit to DNA testing? That, too, is racist. And what if the DNA test revealed something previously unknown? (My Ancestry DNA test revealed some disturbing stuff. I have lived my 83 years believing that I am 100% Polish, with a dollop of Ashkinazi Jew mixed in. The DNA test revealed that I am Polish, Russian, Eastern European, 'European Jewish Person' Irish, Swedish, Norwegian! I don't want to be Irish - they drink too much, have high rares of depression, act goofy on St. Patrick's Day,and don't get along with each other. And Swedes and Norwegians have a history of invading Poland.

The only DNA Lie-awatha can actually claim is that some Indian peed on one of her relatives grave 200 years ago. Democrats are insane.

Okay so my ancestors were Adam and Eve. My heritage goes WAY WAY back so what does that make me? If the Bible is to be believed, we are all of the same family and therefore we are ALL the same and therefore there can be NO discrimination no matter the physical attributes. Period (Obama), No Joke (Biden)

My better half is 1/16 Cherokee. And he’s never used the fact to advance himself. Unlike the lying senator Gray Beaver.

Identifying as a Native American does not make it so, any more than “identifying” as a gender nowhere in your genetic make up makes you a man or woman.
I am glad Justice Alito used the term “identify” to illustrate it is not evidence of truth.

Squatting Bull is Indian because her high cheek bones of course. She knowingly checked the native American box at both U Texas and Harvard based upon her 'high cheekbones' as told by 'Aunt Bea.' lol. What a fake, phony, and loser. Has she apologized? What of the true minorities that were shunted aside because of her self serving lies?

Haha. This reminds me of a recent visit to the Huntington Museum in suburban Los Angeles where they have new works on display, commissioned during the pandemic, by an indigenous artist and an indigenous photographer, people who are said to be descendants of the Tongva tribe. The Tongva people number 2,500 in the region. So, there is not Tongva culture rooted in an ancient one. We have more people in LA that are Tongan than Tongvan. This is just trying to pander to wokeism by the Huntington. They should stick to their magnificent collection of British and American art.

I've been aware of my native heritage of Cherokee-Choctaw for as long as I can remember. Cherokees married whites, blacks, and some other ethnicities, which is a good reason so many people today claim Cherokee ancestry. The Choctaw were decidedly more clannish but not to the exclusion of a lot of multiracial offspring. Some of my relatives in Western Louisiana were referred to disparagingly as Melungeons or Redbones, which are essentially different words for the same people, so I took a DNA test and found a degree or two of Turk (Melongeon) and African (Redbone), but the key characteristic of the Native side of the family was being born poor dirt farmers. Thanks to the US military and the GI Bill, that has changed with the later generations. The menfolk on both sides never ducked a war that our Country saw fit to fight, which is the main reason I have no male cousins or uncles on my father's side. I would have had two uncles who were identical twins but they never made it back to the states from Europe and the Pacific. A few years ago, the Army found the remains of one of them in the Netherlands countryside, amidst the wreckage of his B-17, and offered to send the remains home for reinterment but by then my grand parents had long passed and my dad had recently passed, so I left my uncle buried with his mates in the Netherlands American Cemetery.

Thank you #15

Alito's trolling may have surpassed that of Elon Musk and James Wood.

Affirmative action is fundamentally wrong. But when ANYONE can claim to be ANYTHING to get some advantage, and not be challenged, this already wrong and corrupt system collapses inward under it's own internal insanity and contradictions.
