Freedom to choose: Pocahontas can now “self identify” as a “person of color” at Brown University

Brown University has announced a change to their application process that will allow applicants to “self-identify” as a person of color.

According to The College Fix, the policy is the result of complaints made by Asian-American and international students that they arenâ€t yet categorized as members of historically underrepresented groups. Historically, Brown has restricted minority status to “American Indian, Alaskan Native, African American, Hispanic or Latinx and Native Hawaiian and/or Pacific Islander” students.

Comment:  Will Harvard and Penn Universities   follow suit and get  Pocahontas   aka Elizabeth Warren off the hook?   Is  1/32  of American Indian blood  sufficient to be a “person of color”  based on  Senator  Warren’s say so that her mother had “high cheek bones”?
