Whos definition were you referring too here then? He and myself probably thought you were referring to the actual way the census defines race because the report in the article is based on census data

I meant in general when we are talking about race, but okay, I get the misunderstanding. I'll clear it up just to be safe; whether we recognize it or not, the 'one drop rule' has become so ingrained in society that even self-identifying people will often follow it, which means that in cases where you are measuring 'whiteness', you are measuring an incredibly narrow definition.
