OK, if you are going to be a stickler then anybody can check any box they want. Anybody can steal, commit murder, rape, and lie. I tell people not to do those things. I tell people not to commit fraud when checking boxes on forms too. If this is not universal, or nearly universally applied then our Affirmative Action laws are pointless. How stupid is that? The documentation is out there, which qualifies the term 'African American'. It is also known by every educated child. Anyone else checking the box is committing a fraud. No link is required to know how the question of box checking is to be answered.

"Maybe Ward Churchill or somebody like that would check it but most people use common sense." Huh? Ward Churchill became famous for fraudulently checking the 'American Indian' box on his application to Colorado University, which along with his fraudulent claims to research landed him a prestigious job. This is directly related to the topic. Something that wasn't questioned until he became famous for his 'little Eichman's' comment after 911. Sheesh, I thought you claimed to be a historian.
