I was watching the new
Real Time*
with Bill Maher yesterday, and this subject came up.
(the clip may be removed very soon)
One guest suggests that with all these mixed babies, white people should get some credit for that - i.e. I guess he's basically suggesting that the rule of one drop is a bit too harshly applied (which is, let's face it, applied across the board for anything, be it white mixed with - hispanic, asians, black, etc)
But people just laugh at it, and the reaction is "lol, gtfo". So I guess the time isn't quite right for that yet (or ever).
