Here is the Wikipedia account of Donald J. Harris, whose photos can be found easily from any search engine. His paternal grandmother was descended from an Irish Jamaican. It appears the "one drop" rule doesn't apply any more?

Presumably not a hindu irish jamaican like in the thread title. Do you think what I said and your link are incompatible? Not sure what you mean about the rule. There is a lot more than a drop of african genetics in her dad I am sure.
I was trying to provide support for your statement. It goes back to her father's grandmother. In olden days, the racists would count a person "black" if there was even a drop of black blood in the ancestry. Apparently, the modern racists like to turn that on its head at their pleasure.
Nope. He's Irish and Indian. Not black. Pink Book, if I heard her correctly in the video, said that he was proud of his slave owner heritage. Do double check me on that last statement if you're thinking of repeating it.
Just admit someone got mixed up. Her mother is from india and that is it.
Donald Jasper Harris was born in Brown's Town, St. Ann Parish, Jamaica, the son of Oscar Joseph Harris and Beryl Christie Harris (née Finegan), who were Afro-Jamaicans. As a child, Harris learned the catechism, was baptized and confirmed in the Anglican Church, and served as an acolyte.
I thought her dad is descended from african slaves and a white slave owner. Her mom is hindu.
