text: Well Thomas, thanks for the opportunity to make my point clearer for you.  Victimhood belongs to each and every ethnicity found in the genealogy of each and every victim; and in the proportion that each ethnicity is truly present in each victim's genealogy.  What is absurd is to deny to all of those ethnicities an acknowledgment of the victimhood to which they are entitled.  The denial might be done by a victim who chooses to self-identify only one-eighth of his heritage, thereby cutting out and disrespecting some or nearly all of his own ancestry in order to falsely magnify the victimhood of his favorite group; or whether the denial is done by a grant-seeker who chooses to count only the one ethnicity which a governmental or philanthropic grant program is willing to give money to.  I want truth and transparency in the way victimhood is counted and recorded, not wildly exaggerated claims to get sympathy or money.
