Come on Fuzzy, surely you're not comparing those two. So a guy born in 1905


in the U.S. claimed he was of Swedish origin, which likely made his tenants feel better/safer, when his parents were from Germany and likely dead or irrelevant by the time Nazis rose to power. Sure, maybe that didn't scare off potential tenants (despite no link to Nazis whatsoever) but you do understand how that differs from checking a box that can make you eligible for gov't set-asides and preferential treatment right?

And BTW even that doesn't disprove they aren't of Swedish origin. I was born an Italian citizen to two Italian parents, and 4 Italian grandparents, but not in Italy. Never even lived in Italy actually. Would it be untrue if my kids claimed they are of (1/2) Italian origin?

Not saying they are Swedish, nor do I care, but how many people claim origins that go back several generations.
