The head of Harvard University’s African And African-American Studies department is half white. Quincy Jones is 1/3 white. Dr. Mae Jemison, “black” astronaut, is part Asian.
Should we require DNA tests for those wanting to receive preferences? How much “blackness” do they need? For people who are part black and part Asian, should we give them points for being black and then take them away for being asian (it’s a push!)? Or, do they need to be descended from slaves to get preferences? Which slaves, the slaves in America or the black-owned slaves in Africa?

If one were to view the results of YOUR own PERSONAL DNA test, ACF, what would the rsults reveal about YOUR ancestry?
