If there is so much “privilege” in being white,
why is it that half white half black individuals invariably identify as “black”?
Answer: Because there is inherent advantage in being classified as “black”, both in general society and codified in the law.
I heard that there’s a “one drop” rule, that if a person has a drop of black blood in them, they’ll typically identify themselves as being black.

Probably a result of the fact that was institutionalized through law long, long ago and still part of the way we look at ‘race’ today.
