 Malcolm's Ethnic Background 
I have read some sources that said that Malcolm was more white then he was black. Can anyone confirm this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by  (talk • contribs)  

 I'm not sure what makes a person ""more white [than] black"". See One-drop rule for an explanation of America's racial caste system: in general, a person with any Black ancestry is considered Black. One of Malcolm's grandfathers was white; as far as I know, his other grandparents were Black. —  (talk · [[Special:Contributions/Malik

Yes. You are correct the ""One-drop rule"" has been illegal since 1967. I suspect that under modern law Malcolm X would be considered multi-racial?If so I think that it would be an important piece of information that needs to be added into the article."
