#One-drop_rule
Looking at the states that had this law, I was surprised to find #Nebraska ( #NE ) and #Indiana ( #IN ). #Missouri ( #MO ) was not a surprise, because they had been a slave state.

@dwaltiz Yes, indeed.
I once read about a guy in South Carolina who went around exposing people who fell under that rule.

@dwaltiz It was only in effect from around 1912 to 1967, but if DNA testing had been around back then, a whole lot of Southern good ole boys would have had to use “colored” water fountains and restrooms.
