Halle's father was biracial - white & black - and her mother was white. That means she had 3 white grandparents and 1 black grandparent. This means she is black?

If you saw her on the street, not knowing who she was, would you say she was black or white? The term "biracial" is relatively new, before that anyone with any visible black ancestry was considered black period.

Reminds me of Archie bunkers comment on harry belefonte:

"He's not a black guy - meathead. Harry Belefonte is a white guy dipped in chocolate."

Wouldn't she have been a "Quatroon" in the old days?
