Reply #47: I do find it interesting that the "one drop rule" theory and discussion is so "black and white"

I'm sure Tiger will be happy to hear that those Chinese and Thai blood platelets are irrelevant... it is only the African and the European blood that are worthy of consideration.

Though it was rather generous of you to make "honorary Africans" of Native Americans, by including them in your version of the "one drop rule" (Does that make you a buffet style fan of Madison Grant?)

Madison Grant of New York in The Passing of the Great Race wrote: "The cross between a white man and an Indian is an Indian; the cross between a white man and a Negro is a Negro; the cross between a white man and a Hindu is a Hindu; and the cross between any of the three European races and a Jew is a Jew."

(Buffet style fan because you're willing to make "honorary Africans" of Native Americans, but not Jews? or Hindus?... hmm, you'd better be careful Frenchie, or your words might be misconstrued as being discriminatory toward Jews and Hindus, among others.)
