The law was written by conservatives, not liberals regardless of party.
Whites with 1/16th Indian blood were allowed to claim to be white due to what is called the Pocohantas Rule. It was fashionable at the time to claim to be a descendant of her. They calculated out the generations from her time to the time of the law to get to that 1/16th. Even then racists made exceptions for their own circumstances
Never mentioned liberals or conservatives.
I did mention OLD DEMOCRATS as in Democrats from yesteryear. As if I said OLD REPUBLICANS freed the slaves.
