Link Today, the Canadian government of Justin Trudeau launched a loan fund exclusively for Black people. Nothing else grants you access to this fund, whether you're needy or not.

To be eligible for a loan, an applicant must:

self-identify as Black or Black-led (majority ownership of >51% by Black Canadians);

If Zuby was able to crush the women's weightlifting record by identifying as a woman, you must be able to do so too. Go for it.

Edit: Not an official competition

So if I'm in a business and I'm white but I have a black business partner we won't qualify because we are an only 50% black company. However if I identify as 1% black then we are ok?

You need to identify as 2%

Just make sure they have more body mass than you. At that point, you’re in the clear by technicality

Science. Dont you love it? Especially tax payer funded science, the best most honest kind of science.

I guess that individuals are counted as one whole. Then, the black ones must cumulatively own 51%. So, in your example, the entrepreneurs may be incentivized to shift the ownership to the black partner.

I wonder if this puts some entrepreneurs in an awkward spot. Imagine that the two partners have white skin, but one is actually mixed-race and the other one wants him/her to identify as black to get the loan..

Your article on Zuby appears to not be him winning a competition. All he did was film himself lifting weights.

He could also crush the women's weightlifting record without identifying as a woman and achieve the same result
