People who have 1/16th indigenous heritage can qualify for affirmative action. I'm fine with this if the students concerned are actually part of an indigenous community, but can people manipulate the system? If one of your great great grandparents was aboriginal, what does that mean if you live in middle class suburbia, speak only english and go to a school where most students go to university? I think that there should be checks on students in this scenario to ensure that they actually identify as indigenous and are part of a community... because showing that it's possible for students in indigenous communities is so important.

Just because students are of 1/16 indigenous heritage doesn't always mean they identify as being indigenous. My great grandmother was Jewish, but I don't identify with the Jewish community because I'm not Jewish. I follow a different religion - it's by no means my community or culture. Hopefully this illustrates my point to an extent.
Hitler would've classified you as Jewish

Marxism is not a race. Also, that's pretty cool even though he has destroyed more lives than Hitler. I guess some people think it's cool or something.

Ye, Marx was personally responsible for ending 60+ million lives. . .

I thought Mao alone killed 60 million. (Not to mention his purge of the sparrows, whom he mistakenly believed eat grain.)

Saying that Marx was responsible for the work of Communist governments is like saying Einstein is responsible for Hiroshima.
