Does the one drop rule still apply in America?

[Backgroun]

People are now Mixed or Multiracial

Still applies to some Racists folks

Mixed race people are seen as Mixed race nowadays

The rule doesn't apply to Latinos or Hispanics

[RolandCuthbert]

What does the one drop rule even mean nowadays?

We know that racists believe that "White" people are a pure race. When it comes to the other supposed races, they don't really have an opinion. . . unless it is helpful in a political debate.

[Backgroun]

Lawrence Fishburne is that you?

[Backgroun]

I last saw you on The Matrix

[RolandCuthbert]

When you post your real identity, I will post mine. Too bad you don't possess the intellect to respond.

[Backgroun]

Relax dude it's a joke, take it easy there

[OddBeMe]

Technically we all have multiple drops of mixed race.

[lofii]

Isn't that the guy who spits in people's faces 🤣🤣🤣

[jimmy2]

I guess I needed you to say what is the one drop rule

[ChrisMaster69]

WTF is that, some wrestling thing

[Backgroun]

One drop rule means that if you have a drop of African Blood it would make the offspring black example 0.01%

[ChrisMaster69]

But a guy I went to school with is African, his families lived there about 200 years, he’s white.

[Backgroun]

However the rule only exists in America band doesn't apply to Latinos or Hispanics

[Backgroun]

And*

[Backgroun]

Tre are white Africans because in South Africa you have Afrikaaner (Dutch German and French descent)

[Backgroun]

However those folks are pure white background history. Only few have ancestry from indigenous peoples like very few

[ChrisMaster69]

Oh really thanks for explaining, I would never have known

[Backgroun]

South Africa was first colonised by the Dutch in 1652 then by Brith in 1795 , it only became a British colony in 1806 after two hundred plus year if Dutch rule of the Cape

[ChrisMaster69]

Wow where would we be without you

[Backgroun]

There's 5 million whites living in South Africa

[Backgroun]

The largest percentage on the continent

[LazerBean]

What is the one drop rule?

[Backgroun]

It's a rule that states is you have one drop of African Blood it would make you African

[Backgroun]

But it only exist in America.
Many mixed race people were Re-classified as black because of that

[Backgroun]

It only exists in America and Canada alone

[LazerBean]

I've never heard of it. As a mixed Asian, whenever I was getting my government-issued ID the workers said I can pick whichever of my two races I wished.

[Backgroun]

Lucky you

[Backgroun]

Im Asian too.
But mixed with Indian and Chinese
It goes best me a Filipino look

[Backgroun]

It gives me*
A Filipino look
Edited

[LazerBean]

I'm half Filipino lol I went ahead and chose Asian for my ID because a lot of times you can get minority scholarships for college, along with other minority perks

[Backgroun]

It's hard being mixed race
Especially if you don't look Like the minority group you're Mixed with

[Backgroun]

Most people think I'm Mexican as Filipino look Hispanic

[LazerBean]

I'm sorry it's hard for you. It hasn't been for me, personally, but I think it's just because I'm not really interested in identifying strongly with a particular race.
