I'd thought passing was in the past, but I know of a couple of recent cases -- both decently well-known people in New York circles. I'm talking of Anatole Broyard, the writer, and a real estate broker named Alice Mason.

Good. We don't need any more black Americans, especially individuals who do not value the history, culture, and strength of our people and who are not genuinely interested in the betterment of our communities. There are quite a few public officials I wouldn't mind passing off to some other ethnicity.

I know what you mean, but the people who I have in mind would NEVER be able to blend in.
