What %% do you have to be to qualify as a certain race?

[FriedRiceBob]

O.K.
My great-grandmother was full blooded Cherokee.
which makes me 1/8 in the very least.
add to that that I have various native american ancestory in the other branches of my family tree...i'd say im a good 20% Indian (I sat down and figured it out one time, im pretty sure it was somewhere around there)

now my question is...do i qualify as "native american"?
if not, what would you say is the minimum percentage you'd need to call yourself a certain race?

are there any laws written on this type of thing?

 

[gopunk]

just put it down... i would always put it down if i was NA due to affirmative action

1/8 is definitely enough to make you native american.

It means you're at least 80% something else though. So suck it up.

Who cares anyway, we're all of the same bloodthirsty race anyway, not like those subclasses matter that much.

He wants the money and free college, which IMO is bullcrap!

Why should someone get monthly checks and free college just because of their race?!?!?


(No offense to original poster, I'd go for the money if I were capable of getting it too.... its just stupid the government allows this)

1 drop od your blood is black, you are black

In my opinion, your either your parents have to be full blooded, or you have to be. Otherwise, you're a mutt.

They are probably gonna check your birth certificate and go off of that. That's what I have been told, I have never read that anywhere.

Glad you weren't offended, some people would be. But honestly, don't you think its a stupid law?

You can be 0% as long as you're picked in the draft.
