That's kind of true. Did some quick research. People self-identifying as black can be from as little as 1% black to almost 99%. There's no definition of how much black ancestry it takes to be black.
Would anyone be shocked if a "black" passed as white for preference or advantage? Unwittingly, this woman might have achieved a lot of good. She has exemplified the absurdity of affirmative action.
I haven’t seen anything reported indicating that she has any black ancestry at all. Is 0% ancestry sufficient to self-identify as being black? For leftists, I suppose it is — can’t let the truth get in the way of the agenda.
