Can you define white person? Do you use the one-drop rule?
- consteval 2y agoA white person is someone who identifies as white and is generally recognized as white by others. That may seem like a stupid definition, but it covers pretty much all the edge cases. Obviously the 1 drop rule isn't very good. I mean, I definitely have at least a little Romani blood in me and I'm definitely white. It also covers whiteness changing throughout history.
