Anatole Broyard didn't get "outed," as far as I know, until after he died. If you believe that one can, could, or more appropriately, "should," name a 21st-century black person who tried to pass as white, then you are proving my point. If a person successfully "passes" as white, then they're WHITE. If you can identify them as "non-white" (and why would it matter?) then they can't "pass."

The point is, if someone is successfully "passing" as white, then there's no difference between them and a "white" person. The only way they're not "white" is if someone believes some racist "how many drops" rule. You're arrogant, but not stupid. We both know that you know the difference.

They melted into a more Northernly population, married, had children of their own, and were not "outed" as black.
