I am wondering why people who are born from white and black parents still called black. Sometimes even when they are only 1/3 or 1/4 black they are still called black.
In: Biology
There was a rule called one-drop rule (anyone black in the ancestry makes you black) in many US states.
Other states had laws like 1/16, 1/8,1/4 black ancestry as the threshold of claiming to be white.
Historical laws create racial terms African -american, Asian-American, Native American etc while European-americans are not called so
But these kinds of ideas can be found in many countries around the world.
