Subject: RE: BS: Lewis Hamilton - black?
Well, when we discriminate against people because of their origin, we're usually very good at discriminating against them if only one parent was a minority. In Germany, they exterminated many with only one Jewish parent. In the U.S., they lynched many whose heritage wasn't purely black.

Whether a person with two or only one minority parent overcomes that discrimination, it's cause for celebration.

And if you want to refer to a person as a half-breed, then in most cases that's even MORE discriminatory.
