What exactly is the legal definition of race? Are we to have Nuremburg laws? Is one-eight Black enough to qualify? Come to think of it, I'm being to get in touch with my African side. Jus' call me Kweezi, gimme some of dat scholarship and a whole lotta odder people's money. You be feelin' sho-nuf smugly self-righteous in no time!

This has been the subject of debate between Mrs. Chairman (Korean immigrant - who, BTW, is as torqued about racial preferences as anyone here in that she believes it demeans minorities) and I for some time.

Notice that if you have offspring from the marriage of a black and a white, they are considered legally black.

Notice that if you have offspring from the marriage of an asian and a white, they are considered legally asian.

[The foregoing rankles Mrs. Chairman, who strongly believes the product is neither black, nor white, but mixed.]

Now that is interesting. Even in this mixed race setup, we provide preference to the non-white. Hmmm...
