I wish we could get past this nonsense regarding certain people having special status based on the colour of their skin. Do we need a colour chart to match you against?
The confusion over colour and blood content is inevitable:

Interesting that Canada does not reciprocate for American Indians (smart).
I have heard something similar regarding Indian rights to cross the U.S. - Mexican border that has recently gotten confused.
Have to admit, it can be confusing being an indian, having to decide whether to go kill something with a stone tipped spear or ... to have a few drinks of fire water at the casino while reviewing their stock portfolios.
