DNA test said a California man was 4 percent black. Now he wants to qualify as a minority business owner.Troll level : Expert.
But great points have been raised.
After he was rejected from a program for minority business owners that would have given him an advantage when competing for lucrative government contracts, Taylor sued. His case, which raises complicated questions about how race is defined, is pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. ... Federal law defines black Americans as “persons having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa.” Taylor’s lawsuit notes that the statute doesn’t set a minimum percentage of African DNA that an individual needs to be considered black.
Taylor finds both distinctions arbitrary. Ideally, he says, he would like to see the minority-business certification process scrapped and replaced with a program that would be based on socioeconomic status, not race.
After all, he points out, the son of a millionaire such as Michael Jordan would be considered “disadvantaged” under the existing guidelines

This dude rocks!
It is all about perceived socioeconomic status. But it is as-is about simpletons on about race. Ya'all discriminate, so let's cheat and discriminate to make it fair to those people 'victimized' by such prior.
No. Let's not.
Don't people that get this sh!t and have been hired under flawed affirmative action ever take a sane look in the mirror? Don't they ever realize likely unqualified and have no business being where they are.. that likely in fact performance and relative experiences makes them inferior?
A big dose of humility is needed for race pimps.
