http://veja.abril.com.br/mundo/branca-ou-negra-homem-ou-mulher/ I know you don't read portuguese, but this is on Rachel Dolezal and in this report there isn't a mention to a former president of NAACP that had white skin but had one black ancestor and considered himself black and was accepted as such.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-drop_rule doesn't seem to have any mention of it being overruled even if wiki isn't thrustworthy.

And on Brazil again, most people (outside the minority movements) doesn't give a shit on this race identification. But since I'm white skinned and my brother is brown skinned and both 3/4 slave heritage (and on this we basically had met our great grandparents that were son and daugther of slaves) how would you classify each since you want to define I'm not a minority (and I'm, because I consider the individual the biggest and single minority there is)?

You can pretend as much as you want that there isn't a plethora of people asking for privileges (like quotas) pretending to be demands for equality. Because by law in Brazil (and as far as I know in the USA currently) everyone is equal by the law, but we have people in Brazil that push for classification on homicide to include feminicide and gaycide, discrimination law to be straight on white against black or hetero versus homo, etc.

One set of special rights we do have is woman retire earlier, live longer, are 10x less likely to get killed (or most forms of violence) than men but still demand special law to protect them, while gay people also are less likely to get killed (you can pull the statistic if you want) but they also want special law for protection.

What's the most recent date you see in the One Drop Rule wiki page?  Even given that, only a few states ever used it.  And none, nor the federal government, has used it for almost 80 years.

We are equal but we're not equal here.  Our equal protection laws are written in a way that they can exclude people which means new laws must be made simply to protect them.   We did a stupid thing and wrote our laws as incusive lists instead of just saying "all citizens".   Not so long ago, for example, in many states if you discrimated against someone based on their sexual orientation, there were no repurcussions. What gay pride movements simply wanted was equal discrimination protection that is already afforded everyeone else.  They weren't asking for more severe punishments, greater punitive damages or anything like that.  They just wanted the same thing others had....why is that seen as demanding privilege?

Man, I'm not talking about it as a law. I'm talking as in USA it being accept that as long as you have a drop of a blood from some ethinicity you could identify yourself as of that race.

IF a law is written in list format (white, black, yellow, and forget red or any other skin color someone wants to say he is) then it's right to ask for the change of the law to remove the list and have all citizen (in Brazil the constitution is for all people, and even so the minority groups fight for special threatment as a mean to solve perceived inequalities).

And some of the discussions I have seem on BLM and feminism were asking for white man to pay for the issues of the past that they didn't cause to people that didn't suffered.
