The "One Drop Rule" Makes You Almost Certainly Black
The "one drop rule" says that even a trace of black ancestry makes you a
person of African origin. "As we shall see, this American cultural
definition of blacks is taken for granted as readily by judges, affirmative
action officers, and black protesters as it is by Ku Klux Klansmen." Robert
A. Heinlein's Farnham's Freehold elaborates as to why the Klansmen in
question should think about this rule carefully before they use it to
justify their racism. They might easily discover that they are personally
what they despise.
Many Roman citizens had been "black as the ace of spades" and many
slaves of the Romans had been as blond as Hitler wanted to be--so any "white
man" of European ancestry was certain to have a dash of Negro blood.
Sometimes more than a dash.
Heinlein then adds of a Southern politician who had built his career on the
premise of white racial supremacy, "[A]nd his blood type was such that the
chances were two hundred to one that its owner had not just a touch of the
tar brush but practically the whole tar barrel." This is probably true of
many multigenerational families in the Old South, and even people with blue
eyes are not exempt.
People of Greek ancestry can doubtless make the same claim, noting
especially that people of that era seemed to have few prejudices against
intermarriage with other races. Greek mythology reports, for example, that
the hero Perseus married the Ethiopian princess Andromeda, who would of
course have been a black person despite her depiction as a Caucasian in
numerous works of art. At least one Asian Indian, meanwhile, circumvented a
racial preference by passing as black.
I cannot give legal advice, but people who contemplate "box-checking" should
be far more circumspect on anything that involves a federal contract. It
is actually illegal to provide false information to the federal government
despite numerous successful efforts to evade set-aside requirements.
The bottom line is, however, that the same progressive Democrats who support
affirmative action goals and quotas do not have a problem with Elizabeth
Warren's prospective vice presidential candidacy despite her successful use
of "box-checking" to circumvent, evade, and defeat affirmative action. If
it is socially acceptable for Warren, it is socially acceptable for anybody
else.
William A. Levinson is the author of several books on business management
including content on organizational psychology, as well as manufacturing
productivity and quality.

我们都是黑人。申请书上不要填错了。
填成亚裔说明你心里有鬼，歧视黑人。
So what we have instead of the meaningless terms Caucasian, Negro, Asian,
etc, is a large multiplicity of ethnic lineages, all of whom descended from
a only a single black race. So don't forget, next time you fill in the U.S.
Census you should write in the word Black next to the question about your
race, regardless of your shade of pale.
