In the old days, back when segregation was the law of the land, even having one ancestor who was black could cause a person to suffer discrimination. But these days, past ancestry does not mark a person the way it used to. I think most people would think of Sasha and Malia as black, since their mother, Michelle Obama, is certainly black, and their dad, the president, while biracial, is generally considered by the culture to be black. I have not read many sources that describe the two Obama children as biracial, although a case could be made that since their maternal grandmother was white, they do have some white ancestry.
