Well, you could do something else altogether. And, yes, I know that you are stirring the pot. This is not a real question. Your question here proves it:
:I just found out that I am 1/128 Black. Is this enough for me to get to go to one of those rich private colleges without having to pay like the Whites? Even though it is a relative small amount, I am beginning to feel more and more "Black".

Assuming that this was a real question, you could NOT apply for affirmative action grants, freebies, and the like... like most "minorities" do not.
I am from one of the smallest, if not the smallest, ethnic minority in the nation and, even if there were such things for us, I would CHOOSE to not use them.
Furthermore, I know to which ethnicity you refer and I have to say that I know that MOST decry such actions and make it on their own merit.
In fact, these individuals are a bit annoyed, to put it mildly, by those who do this without the greatest need... if that.

You're reading If I say I am part Black but look White, will I have to prove my background to get affirmative action grants, scholarships, and various freebies? Do all of us minorities have to prove our backgrounds?
