Are we going with the Nazi one drop rule?

She is as dropless as she is shameless.

Wonder if she actually went to Howard as she claimed? I know there is a decent cohort of white students there, but she was not necessarily one.

Are we going with the Nazi one drop rule?

What Nazi "one drop" rule? A person who was half Jewish was a Mischling (first degree), one fourth Jewish, a Mischling second degree. Less than one fourth, was not a Jew (unless self identified). Field Marshall Milch's father was Jewish. Many Mischling and full Jews served in Wehrmacht. SS Office candidates had to prove pure "Aryan" ancestry going back to 1750.

The Nazis never had a one-drop rule. That was a refinement of the American South.

The Nazis defined a person with two Jewish grandparents as a mischling of the first degree, with one Jewish grandparent as one of the second degree.

First degrees were in theory discriminated against but not normally imprisoned or killed.

Second degree mischlings were generally treated as Aryans, though they might have trouble getting into the Nazi Party or the SS.

In theory, both groups were to be eventually sterilized, but they never got around to it.
