I love DIE because I'm a quarter Black. I leverage every DIE initiative I can, in college, in software companies, everywhere I declare myself as "Black". When I finally stroll in for the first day, the HR coordinator and others are shocked that someone as White as Bill Clinton "identifies" as Black.

And we've gone full circle: it's like I need to carry a card around to show my quadroon status because it's just unbelievable. We're back to brown paper bag tests and racial purity.
