Why are people who are half-black and half-white generally simply referred to as "black"?
I have a question that's been on my mind. Why is it that people who are half-black and half-white are generally just referred to as "black"?
That's an interesting question. One theory is that in the United States, the "one drop rule" was used to define blackness. This meant that if a person had even one drop of "black blood" in them, they were considered black.
