Beige Privilege

'Not black enough?' Biracial winner of Miss Black University of Texas draws backlash [More]
Damn. This is gonna, like, totally mess up reparations calculations, plus how will they figure out where cultural appropriation begins...?

It complicated -- determining grievances these days with so many variations and choices.

If Jenner can identify as a woman, who are these students to tell anyone if they are black enough to win the pageant? Rachael Dozier should have won!

Never pays to have a cracker in the wood shed.

Running for Miss BLACK anything, a discriminatory title valued only by the racially obsessed in the first place, is like standing in front of a mirror and calling for the Candyman three times. Whatever comes after you, you know there’s nobody else to blame for inviting it.

I prefer Biggie Smalls.

With a black father and white mother, she is as black as Barack Obama. She is also as white as Barack Obama.

Reminds me of the blue dress vs. white dress controversy:

Mulatto - the new M-word.

I guess Rashida Jones is too white; she can pass for white, never mind who her Dad is.

I guess Meghan Markle is too white; she can pass for white, never mind who her Mom is.

I guess Troian Bellisario (David remembers her) is too white; she can pass for white, never mind who her Mom is.
