Sigh. How about using the predominant percentage of descent? Because they never do.....mulatto, quadroon, biracial, octaroon, mixed race.....are just some of the terms devised to distinguish those who are not 'pure' white from those who are.

Another racist teabagger rears his ugly head. I suggest you keep the fact you are mixed race to yourself. ;-) Tea Party Leader On Obama: 'Our Half White, Racist President' Zachary Roth \| February 23, 2010, 9:48AM A top Tea Party leader derided Barack Obama as "our half white, racist president" in an email to colleagues. Mark Williams, the conservative talk radio host who has become a prominent spokesman for the Tea Party Express, sent an email in September -- obtained by TPMmuckraker -- to other leaders of the group, in which he appeared to be responding to charges of racism against himself. Wrote Williams: CNN went over more than seven thousand articles on my site; likely they also listened to the shows archived there too. No doubt they did a Lexis Nexis on me and found thirty years of work by and about me. The best that they could do as a result was string together three quotes, out of context, and throw in a false allegation of me calling Obama a "Nazi". I was in the streets marching for civil rights while asshole southern sheriffs were swinging nail studded baseball bats at black's heads, and stood between black kids and even more fucked up northern assholes were throwing rocks and gas bombs at school buses in my hometown during forced busing for deseg. Two things you can always count on: I will defend my record on race to no one (sic), under any circumstances and, I will call out any racist, any time without regard to who they are ... and that includes our half white, racist president. The Sacramento-based Williams has made frequent media appearances as a spokesman and leader of the Tea Party Express, which was created last year by a GOP consulting firm. He has written in the past that President Obama is "an Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug and a racist in chief." Late Update: Williams declined to comment to TPMmuckraker. tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com
