Alabama sorority WILL NOT support BLACK members in becoming HOMECOMING QUEEN.

Think what you want. She's considered black though because America. It's a bit like being Jewish, if any of your ancestors were Jewish, you're Jewish. Even if only that one grandma was Jewish, you can still get Israeli citizenship. She's black because one of her ancestors was black, even if all the rest of her ancestors were white, it's just how it works in the US.

Wait... so I'm Jewish? My great-grandfather was Jewish. Interesting, I have a big nose and I don't want to spend money if its not really really necessary. Coincidence?

But srsly this woman doesnt look very black. Can't see a race issue here.

In the US guns don't kill people by firing high energetic kinetic projectiles.

It's almost like slavery playing a much larger role in our history hasn't changed our language.

I think Jews do matrilineal only? That's why I said "a bit like" instead of exactly like.

If you fail to simply use colors correctly that is on you.

This woman is not black.

It's like you're hung up on the misconception that this is about skin color and not race.

where does it say anything about not supporting black candidates? am I missing something?

Completely implied cuz it's a Southern university. "Oh,we TOTALLY LOVE HER, but... ew, just don't let her into the main house." Those types of people.

She's just as white as the other girl... sure she has "black people" facial features, but is this what makes people react racist? Or is it the black skin... I don't know...

Stop calling her black, call her black facial feature girl.


Edit:

Ahhh I know why there is nothing racist in this story, just look at who made the OP. Nice racebait thread.

Rachel has darker skin then her.

Why is it unthinkable that Rachel has faced discrimination and it is the default assumption for this white chick?

[Sunseeker]

Well, aside from not seeing anything about race in any of the supplied content and the fact that both girls are fugly as hell, I'm not seeing the problem. Also I'm not sure why I should give a fuck about sorority/fraternity politics in Alabama. It's fucking ALABAMA! Wake me up when it's about real Greek politics.

How is this a race issue? not one single person said ' HEY WE CANT SHOW SUPPORT FOR THEM BLACKS ' they simply said follow the party line and that's pretty normal for politics and that's all this is. It's about centralized power of a faction, not about the individuals running.

Yes, it's because she has "black people" facial features. This is what would be making people react racist. It doesn't matter if it's not connected to actual black skin. Calling her black isn't racist, it's accurately describing her racial situation, in the US. Discriminating against her because of that is. A black person who is an albino is still a black person. A person whose racial blackground is 1/8th black 7/8 white is still a black person because people here will discriminate against her because of it. Calling her black is a recognition of the realities of the situation.

Edit: BTW, I'm not saying this thread's story is a case of racism. It could be, but there's nothing overt to say for sure.

Don't race-bait the forum. This issue has nothing to do with race.
