I figured that a reader would not need to be astute to recognize that "I identify

Indeed? But I thought it was "new" for mainstream
or casual writing to use the capital letter. Since a point,
well, I'll play safe and say after 2010. Maybe it was old
style, then out of style, then in again.

I don't know if this is proof, but this from 2014 says "black":
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/04/14/is-barack-obama-black/>

This from 2020 says "Black":
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/09/16/barack-obama-kamala-harris-both-identify-black-news-media-doesnt-describe-both-that-way/>

They came up together in Google after I put the word
in quotes, to discourage the appearance of "African American"
as what Google thought I was looking for i.e. obama "black" (sic).

So it appears that the President was black in 2014.
Although that article actually disputes it.

I believe you are wrong, although Scott Adams's satire
has a wide scope, and he appears to be as screwy
as Terry, but of course more successful in life.
Nevertheless - as with the links I just posted about
President Obama - some people get a choice of "race",
although who it is who chooses can vary.

<https://dilbert.com/strip/2022-05-04>
has Wally putting it to Dave that he's pranking
the Boss, and Dave not denying it. Reader comments
mention several newspapers not running these strips.

It crosses my mind that the colour version won't
print well either in a newspaper. Is it just me or is
it quite hard to see Dave? And to distinguish in
profile view between the drawn beard and really
large lips? Even more so, I suspect, when uncoloured.
Style No. 2 here is what I think we're seeing
<https://swirlster.ndtv.com/beauty/celebrity-stylist-aalim-hakim-shares-self-grooming-beard-tips-for-men-at-home-2211665>
but Dilbert characters tend not to have a chin or a neck.
Neither "French beard" nor "circle beard" pictured elsewhere
than on my link look very much like Dave's.

'Identifies as' isn't restricted to gender.
Example: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-33156905
Race activist Rachel Dolezal: 'I identify as black'
(an identification that surprised both her parents).

My brother in law 'identifies as Native American', though his appearance is
stereotypically Irish, due to an old family tradition, which no one is willing to
put to a DNA test.

Ah.

I wasn't aware PBS was a /print/ medium.

After a no-longer-quite recent, well-publicized case where such a
claim /was/ put to the test, that sounds like a prudent position to
take.

A long time ago, when I was interested in geneology, one of the first
things I learned is that most families /do/ have a legend about a
<First People's> ancestor -- and almost all of them are wrong.

OTOH, anyone born in the USA is a /native/ American. It's just that
some groups got here a lot earlier than the rest of us.

I tried some research, mostly to see if the second usage is now
considered something you can be sued for in South Africa.
-- elements of the African-American community used "Black" in the 60s
and probably later. Some of this usage surely made it into the
newspapers, magazines, books, and TV news.
-- it was (is?) an official term used in South Africa.

Yes, that is true. But that doesn't make them Native Americans, just
native Americans. The phrase "Native American" has been used with
a specific meaning, it exists and is commonly understood. It exists
because a replacement for "Indian" was felt to be needed - in a hurry.

While you may well be right I do think Scott Adams is being brilliant
in his mocking on this story arc (which for those who haven't seen it
involves a black guy "who identifies as white")

For those who haven't seen it this week's arc starts with
https://dilbert.com/strip/2022-05-02

and I agree the ultra-woke might be offended but I definitely have
been following it closely to see what Adams comes up with next!

Back in 2010 my daughter (from Vancouver) was in art school and did an
exchange semester in Baltimore, MD. They went for beer one night and
the subject turned to genealogy and my daughter shocked everybody by
telling them that she (the only non-American at the table) qualified
for Daughters of the American Revolution membership. (Which requires
proven ancestry of a person who would have been an American citizen in
1776)

Which is true - my late father is from WA state and was descended from
a Mayflower family and got the documentation to prove it.

Which gets you a coffee at the local McDonalds at least if you have $1
on hand...

But it certainly caused as much consternation around the table - at
least as much as when the NBA's Steve Nash (born in Johannesburg but
raised in Victoria, BC Canada) would say whenever there was a new
player in the dressing room that HE (Nash) was the only true African
in the dressing room! (His teammates knew where he was born and were
said to be more amused than annoyed - but then they didn't mind as
they knew he only said it when there was a newbie around)

And then we have that great African American success story called
SpaceX. Of course he's the wrong _color_ African American.

He’s a white Persian cat and a monocle short of being a Bond villain,

My local newspaper in Fort Bend County, Texas does not carry Dilbert.
It carries Peanuts, Arlo, Alley Oop, and about five others.

No Dave on May 6 - Dave only showed up locally on that
first day. We seem to have gotten the May 7 strip, but then,
Dave isn't in that one.

Or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Dolezal

Newspapers have screwed up comic strips by not following the coloring
guide the syndicate used. In this day and age, I'd think the coloring used
on a creator's or the syndicate's website would be dispositive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Dolezal

https://dilbert.com/strip/2022-05-02

Title in the source is "Dave, The Black Engineer."

We don't read a newspaper at all, these days. We read various
webcomics online, but I don't look at Dilbert at all unless
somebody posts a link here.

/googles Dilbert

It's not about Dave at all; it's about Wally's voicemail. The
last several strips were about Dave.

I've seen this suggested elsewhere. I was going to trot out my line about how satire is not the same thing as a reasoned argument and is as a side effect considerably more ambiguous - but the Dilbert strip for Friday May 6th (viewed from https://dilbert.com/) is priceless and shows that the main target is indeed people who judge by skin colour.

PHB: We want to better understand our customers, so I asked Dave to explain urban culture to us

Dave: Both of my parents are Doctors, and I went to a private school in Vermont

PHB: Is that where you were radicalized?

Dave: No, that's happening right now.

I want to know if Dave is the only engineer in the group with qualifications in Quality Control, Control Theory, Fatigue resistance, or something - because that would be a form of diversity hiring that would actually make sense :-)

The Ghost Who Walks was being reprinted in David McKay's
ACE COMICS as early as #11, Feb, 1938,

https://www.comics.org/issue/206249/?

....and in FEATURE BOOK #20 and some later numbers,
starting in Dec, 1938.

https://www.comics.org/issue/206300/

An Italian publisher actually beat any American one to
reprinting the strips in a comic book.

Mike Glyer provided a rundown of James H. Burns' newspaper comics reading experiences,
which were very similar to mine . The Knickerbocker wasn't distributed out in Suffolk County,
Long Island, but we did get the Long Island Press delivered. My Dad always bought the Daily
News and Newsday, and I was a News paperboy for a short while.

The dilbert.com site also has the best search of any comic strip site.
You can search for dialogue or characters. I've often wished I could
do the same for Peanuts.
