AverageBro.com: AB.com Guest Post - Halle Berry, Interracial Marriage, And The "One Drop Rule".: "When I was growing up in SE Michigan during the Antediluvian Era, there weren't a whole lot of self-identified 'biracial' or 'multiracial' people. You were Black or White. There was a very small population of East/South Asians and a few people of Hispanic or Middle Eastern heritage (primarily Lebanese or Chaldeans who infrequently identified as 'White')

Black/White mixed kids identified as the race they most looked like or lived next to-which given housing patterns usually meant they declared themselves 'Black' about 95% of the time. Those were the rules then. Pick a team!!!"
