[Lions-l] correct political paradox

[G Burns]

a child is born in Capetwon, South Africa, during the mid 80's. due to
the changing racial climate, the child's parents and family move to the
US and begin a new life. as the child grows in years and values; the
child decides to become a US citizen. after completing the required steps
to naturalization, the child, now a vibrant young woman; decides she
wants to enter civil service. she files her application and is granted an
interview for a staff position at the White House. during the background
investigation, a point of concern is noted but believed to be rectifiable
during the interview process. as her application is reviewed with the
young applicant, the interviewer comments on her choice of racial
selection. "Why is it that you marked African American for your race?"
the applicant replied, "I was born in Africa but have become a
naturalized American. That makes me an African American, doesn't it?" the
interviewer replied, "But you are white. Not African American...?." the
applicant responded, "My skin is white. But I was born in Africa and am
an American citizen. Does that not mean that I am African American?" and
I don't want someone to nit pick this scenario....  just look at the
racial paradox  George `72
