She looks black, not white. If you didn't know who her parents were, just seeing her on the street would you assume she was black or white?

Well, in my neighborhood, she would be seen as Puerto Rican or Dominican at first glance.

Or does the "one drop rule" not apply to folks with a name like "Sanchez" to folks like you LWalk? Its a dumb rule followed only by racist blacks and old fart whites.

My half-sister is lighter than Halle, and she has two black parents. My stepmother is even lighter, and they have no recent white ancestors. I don't believe in the one-drop rule, but perception=reality. Keanu, mentioned in this thread, is considered white, mostly because he looks white. You saw several posters surprised to learn that he is half-Asian. Who here is surprised to learn that Halle is half-black?
