Apparently if you're 1/4 black, you're completely black but if you're 1/2 Asian you're not Asian. Weird...

Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just explaining the peculiarity of the American experience. Both left and right have just accepted what I said as matter of fact.
Note: That only applies to folks being partially black, not any other combo mix. Is it right? Wrong? Who knows, but it's just the way it has always been. I agree it's a strange way to view things.
