NEWS ALERT: Chinese are now blacks



This is not a joke.

From the Wall Street Journal:

"A high court in South Africa ruled on Wednesday that Chinese-South Africans will be reclassified as “black,” a term that includes black Africans, Indians and others who were subject to discrimination under apartheid. As a result of this ruling, ethnically Chinese citizens will be able to benefit from government affirmative action policies aimed at undoing the effects of apartheid."

As someone who is half-chinese, I must admit that I am having a huge identity crisis right now.

I am going to ponder this for several hours and report back.

Stay strong, stay black. Yao Ming!!
