Except that in that case the court took judicial notice of the one drop rule, which means that it had to be a pretty accepted thought since the court accepted the idea as "fact" when there was no factual evidence presented on it. Although the quote you selected makes it clear that no matter how thin you slice there are alwasy two sides (as is true with anything), the fact that the court eventually took judicial notice of the one drop rule (something you interesting left out) shows where the country stood on the issue.
But I say, if someone wants to consider herself white, let'em. We should not fight people who don't want to be Black, we have enough Black achievers that we shouldn't even care. However, those people fighting their Blackness need to be honest enough to make sure they do not receive the benefits of social programs and contracts designed for receipt by Black people, since they aren't Black.
