Jack and June are from the same
mother and father.
June is an individual who descends
from multiple races.
Jack is black.
What do you go under?
White? Hispanic? Asian?
African-American? Black?
Primary and then a secondary.
Well…I have the same problem with my son.
One needs to be chosen.
Well, uh, I really don't know how to address that.
Yes, it would be…here we go.
Absolutely.
Oh, okay, let's say white.
Yes.
Then we're going to call you and say…
we have to put something.
Yeah.
"You need to pick a Primary Race and
an additional Race.
Without this information your son is
not and will not be enrolled."
"I must seek the nomination of the
Democratic Party for the presidency of
the United States."
Jesse Jackson called Jews "Hymies",
New York "Hymietown."
When Eli filled out his college applications,
he felt the same old
conflict many multiracials feel.
Should he check the black box and
inflate his GPA from 3.7 to 4.0 or higher?
But he'd actually earned that 3.7.
Should he ignore the urgings from
teachers and counselors to exploit
this perfectly legal racial preference,
and instead check all that apply?
But he was informed that if he did that,
showing he was of mixed race,
he would just be placed into the
black box, anyway.
He considered opting out and leaving
the boxes blank, but, again, he was
informed that he would likely land in
the white box.
The decision of how to identify
himself racially was, at this moment,
tied to his future possibilities.
Get out.
Get out?
What's that?
Born in the basement.
Born in the basement.
Jack and June now live in an America
that grows more determined to track
people by race and ethnicity.
This, of course, is done with the best
of intentions to correct past
injustices and current inequalities.
Eli knows that one day he will have to
explain to them why he thinks this is wrong.
Growing up in Radom, Poland,
Eli's grandfather lived in a world that
never knew him as an individual, but
only as a member of a despised group.
Eli's grandfather's six older
sisters raised him.
When the Nazis came, his sisters,
believing that the women would be spared,
told him to flee.
He was caught.
He then escaped from a Nazi transport
train with other men and was the only
one to survive the gunfire with two
bullets in his back.
The Russians arrested Eli's
grandfather on the charge of being a
German spy, and he was sent to Siberia.
There, for the first time,
he met Eli's grandmother.
Eli's grandfather's six sisters were
murdered in Majdanek.
It is likely other family members
perished in Treblinka.
Most of Eli's grandmother's family
survived Auschwitz, including his
grandmother's mother.
Eli believes this is why he carries an
innate mistrust of identity politics.
Its emphasis is always on racial
group identity and rights.
But doesn't this emphasis on racial
group identity use the same reasoning
that all racial orders are built on:
the rights and interests of the racial
group over the individual?
And doesn't this always lead to some
racial groups being valued over other
racial groups, and to the
marginalization of the individual?
When Eli's grandfather came to America,
it took him many years to
shed the tribalism that had
oppressed him back in Poland.
But he did come to trust that America
was truly a country of individual
rights and freedoms.
His assimilation was complete when he
fully understood one thing,
the smallest minority in America is,
and always has been, the individual.
