A mostly-white baby counts as a minority. They’re falling back on the old “one drop rule” that racist Democrats used for decades.

In the performance of my job, I accessed a computerized demographic breakdown of my 700-person squadron in the Navy and was amazed at all the white people with anglo names who checked themselves off as Hispanic or Native American (mostly Hispanic though).
I'm a Gen-X'er but my squadron is mostly Millennials. I think their generation learned early on that if they self-identify as a racial or ethnic minority, they'll get to take advantage of the set-asides of the racial spoils system. If they claim to be a white "hispanic" or a white "indian" nobody is really going to investigate the issue. Personally, I think it's a great idea! Starve the beast!

They also count "white Hispanics" as minority --- a truly bogus term I first heard as applied to poor George Zimmerman. This is nonsense. Many, many lighter-colored people of whatever race--- Mesoamerican, Arab/Middle Eastern, Asian--- especially (but not only) if they have some Euro in the mix, consider themselves "white." And that goes for Latinos especially.
Does anybody really think of Joan Baez or Martin Sheen, or Salma Hayek or Penelope Cruz, or Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio, as part of a "non-white minority"?

Until he commits a violent crime. Then he becomes white.
