LOL - worth a try. I remember back when my daughter was looking for scholarships for college and I kept asking her if she was sure she wasn’t black.
Wouldn’t you be the better authority on whether your daughter is “black?” After all, skin color is not a reliable guide, and you would know a lot better than she what you did that Saturday ni .... oh, never mind.
On my optimistic days, I think that mixed marriages will solve the race problem faster than many suspect. My daughter has a couple of friends (and soccer teammates) who are of mixed black/white and black/white/hispanic heritage. Super kids, good families, very bright, and if they weren’t good friends of my daughter’s whom I’ve watched grow up, I would probably notice that they have blossomed into strikingly attractive young ladies. (As a dad, I don’t notice such things. But I’m keeping the shotgun handy just in case ....) As far as race is concerned, they’re about as “black” as Elizabeth Warren is Cherokee.
To their credit, their families have not tried to game the system.
On more than one occasion, when the subject has arisen, I’ve hauled out a team photo and asked some grandstanding liberal to pick out the black girls and explain why they should be entitled to racial preferences. Works every time since the young ladies to which I refer are whiter than you or me, with dads who could “pass” (repugnant term) and Anglo mothers. Why liberals in this day and age remain attached to the one drop rule is beyond me.
