Is the One-Drop theory still taught and applied to people of mixed race in America ?

Question

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-drop_rule

Answer 1

Since 1986, the one-drop rule was made illegal.

Many people in the United States are increasingly rejecting the one drop rule, and are questioning whether even as much as 50% black ancestry should be considered black. Although politician Barack Obama self-identifies as black, 55 percent of whites and 61 percent of Hispanics classified him as biracial instead of black after being told that his mother is white. Blacks were less likely to acknowledge a mulitiracial category, with 66% labelling Obama as black.[18] However when it came to Tiger Woods, only 42% of African-Americans described him as black, as did only 7% of White Americans

Answer 2

I have never heard of the One-Drop theory, and think it's an attempt to separate us as humans,...by race. I am of mixed races, but only consider myself as human, as we all should.

Answer 3

The only one drop theory I know pertains to tabasco sauce.
