In article <be9l4jhgthh55dcqb22u3k9qivpnr7a66d@4ax.com>,Great question. I don't know much about the law but I do know that gray areas exist all over the fucking place and you'd have to be a fucking moron not to know that stuff like this is decided in court which is how legal precedent is created. There's no fucking way you're a lawyer. Did you even go to law school or was that a fucking lie too?

$25,000 forgivable loan only to buyers who are black, indigenous or
people of color who are buying a permanently affordable home through
the Champlain Housing Trust or its partner agencies across the state.

ers-expanding/?outputType=amp>>"Indigenous" isn't even a real thing. How do you claim that status?
----------------------
There are plenty of low income white people who could use a leg up to
help buy a home but they're shit out of luck in Vermont, where they'll
be told they have the wrong skin color to access that benefit.

I wonder how they'll treat someone who is half-white and half-black?
Maybe it goes by looks. If you look black enough, like Obama, you get
the loan. If your white parent's genes came through, then no loan
for you.

Shouldn't anybody who wants it just be able to say they are?
Yep. I'm indigenous. I was born in Kentucky and I'm not from anywhere else.

And while you might say, yes, but your forebears aren't from North
America... well, that applies to the people who are considered
"indigenous", too. No flavor of human being is actually indigenous to North
America. We all originally came from somewhere else.

But much like 'African-American', any white people who actually qualify
under their politically correct jargon will be told "that's not what we
mean".
Can I be a "people of color"?
Hell, I may even be a "people of color". My dad would sometimes make
things up to tell us kids. Other times he told us facts. On a few
occasions he said that his mom's side of the family was part Cherokee.
Which was certainly possible.

So I would have a double claim as being indigenous and a person of
color. Even though I'm about as white as they come.
brown enough to qualify?
