There are exceptions to everything. I have known white members of NPHC groups at LSU.

OK, this is definitely another topic for another day.

aopirose's biggest pet peeve - ("passing" for white) - I really, really, really hate this phrase and the context that it implies. If a person is of mixed race (for example: caucasian and african-american) and is on the fairer end of the spectrum, what are they supposed to say, "Hi, my name is Maggie and although I look like a "full-blooded" white person with my straight natural blonde hair and blue eyes, my great-grandmother is black. What do you all do for philanthropy projects?"

ETA: I am going out of town and I won't be back until next Tuesday.
