one drop

i have a hilarious professor whom i love dearly.
she truly makes me laugh every single class.

the other day in class we were talking about the harlem renaissance
and the number of authors who spawned from this period.
obviously, all were african american.
however, someone started talking about authors of mixed heritage.
(keep in mind my professor is an african american herself)
this was my instructor's response:
"it doesnt take much to be black. one drop'll do ya."


yes, one drop'll do ya apparently...
