while half the country is making fun of "Pocahontas" being an embarrassment to Pocahontas (just for kicks) the other half correctly [1] claims that she indeed is an Indian (within the test's margin of error).

KKK, a Democrat institution at the time, had a "one-drop rule'' meaning that a single drop of "black blood" makes a person a black.

In comparison, for Nazis it was way too extreme, a Jew had to have a Jewish ancestor within two generations.

[1] a standard drop is 1/20 mL. an average adult has 5 L of blood. the KKK standard is log2(5e3*20)=16 generations, which is within the estimate of the good professor, who didn't supply any probabilities AFAIK.
