If a white guy has a drop of black blood and it shows a little... why is he considered only black?

But why is a black guy, who is half white, considered only black?

Does this have to do with whites being seen as pure white? And other races don't have to be pure?

If you find a non-white ancestor, say, 2,000 years ago, you aren't white? Why? Why doesn't the same apply to other races?
