        Person: My great-grandfather was Korean.
        The Asian Council: spends two minutes deliberating

        Person: I’m 1/8th black.
        The Black Council: instantly You’re black.

        College Humor had it right. (Catbox alt)

            Ya know, my first thought was “I see the resemblance but I don’t think they’re the same person.” And then I checked Wikipedia and there she is! Television, 2014, CollegeHumor, ‘Full Asian.’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Marie_Tran
