Discrimination in US

The Instapundit has, for him, a longish discussion of race in the United States, and it's uses.

He notes that Mr George Zimmerman is 1/8th Black, but is seen as a "White" racist who killed a Black kid.  On the other hand, a Harvard Professor 1/32 Cherokee is considered a minority.  Law Professor Glenn Reynolds notes:
Hey, I’ve got double that amount of Cherokee ancestry.  If I’d known that was all it took to get a job at Harvard . . .
He is The Instapundit.

I probably don't care much as long as you are (1) consistent and (2) don't use the term Anglo around me, except in a combining form, e.g., Anglo-Arabian Oil Company.
