I want to know the answer to the following question:
What does a person have to have to be an octoroon?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Some 19th-century categorization schemes defined people by proportion of African ancestry: a person whose parents were black and white was classified as mulatto, with one black grandparent and three white as quadroon, and with one black great-grandparent and the remainder white as octoroon.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
