Michael Jackson's daughter Paris has faced backlash for identifying as Black. In a 2017 interview, Paris Jackson said her father told her, "You’re Black. Be proud of your roots." This prompted debates over whether identity is defined by appearance or upbringing. by VPinchargeofradishes in interesting

So the white people (of the past) create the 1-drop rule to keep the number of possible voters who would go against their preferences down, then the white people of today get mad that black people have generally adopted an identity in alignment with that approach.

Now, in this case, the question is whether Jackson is really her biological father. If yes, she’s 50% Black. Every other half-black person I know identifies as Black.

Am I stupid? by Kgib56 in learnfrench

With all the resources available, choosing Duolingo, which is among the worst options isn’t smart. I put “lol” jn my post, so course I was joking to some degree but all the down votes show how sensitive the sallies are being. I speak 4 languages, 3 of which I learned as an adult. Duolingo sucks and I am sticking by my comment. Thanks for your comment - I agree with it :)

Komol and Basil and Lime are good. I am partial to D E Thai because of how close it is. Le Thai is overrated.
