Yes, I am quite familiar with 'being black thru 1/8th' but also know that this is no more 'politically correct' and thus invalid. Talking of same, the Swedish word "neger" (= 'negro'- comes from 'black' in many languages - has been an official part of the Swedish language for 100s of years, and still is) has been removed from the most recent edition of "Svensk Ordlista", which is the official dictionary of the Swedish language. I told some Swedish friends, who just refused to believe me and claimed I had no clue because being an ex patriate. They just refused to believe that such utter stupidity could be true. Well, it is, "neger" has now officially been removed from the Swedish language by a committee. /Taro
