My fav is this piece by a Chinese-Dominican not unlike the author of the piece Steve is referencing. His affinity for Osaka itself also a demonstration of the concentric circles of ancestry and relatedness. In America with it’s small East Asian population the concept of ‘Asians’ as some kind of identity itself exists. (Tellingly he identifies himself as ‘biracial Asian’ might he actually be more self-conscious among his Chinese extended family than Western society itself?

It was Chibie, above all, who fascinated me. Who was Chibie? Where had she come from?… One story went that she was the illegitimate daughter of King Alphonso XIII of Spain and a Moorish slave he had gotten pregnant… I was able to confirm that until her mid-teens, Chibie lived in England, and that when she left the convent [where she spent time], she could read in eight languages.

“… Even if a person has less than 1% black ancestry and looks completely white they’re still legally black in the United States.”

Happy? Of course. The case and how it’s often used as solid proof of quite an extraordinary claim is just a bit of a pet peeve.

Read what I said, which was that two people who can “pass for white” (and later stipulated that I was thinking primarily of Creole, mixed, Dominican, etc. communities where passing is an issue to begin with) can have a child that is not going to be able to do that as effectively.

A 3rd possibility is the one you mention – that they really are both legitimate, but their family isn’t an ordinary Afrikaner family. That one of the parents was Coloured and “passing”, or one of the grandparents (anything further back than that and we’re back in implausible territory).

If the movie were to be made in a decade or so, maybe one of Thandie Newton’s kids with the right hairdo or Halle Berry’s daughter would’ve been available? Celebrity actors’ kids all seem to go into acting or modelling, so probably.

If it was a realistic Edwardian or Georgian play I can understand that. But casting a black actor as the gravedigger in Hamlet or the gardener in Richard III wouldn’t trouble me. It’s a different mode of drama.

Yea like some random black geezer shanghaied from Africa, Jamaica, even Brizzle or That London in those days (not like Wilfred and all his modern tackle) would have the slightest idea how to go about coping with the English seasons and climate, age-old techniques and weird local vegetation.

If someone called my mother a cheating whore and harangued me to prove that she isn’t, I wouldn’t go out of my way to do anything that suggests my mother’s behavior warrants skepticism in the first place, or that she needs to have her name “cleared”. The thing is, most everyone in South Africa (except those who push it for political reasons, who at the very least claim to believe Sandra was legitimate) can’t really be pushed any further in the direction of believing Sandra wasn’t really a Laing , pelo matter what Sandra does. For the simple reason that they know Afrikaners and see them all the time, and know that aren’t actually Afrikaner Sandras running around.

As a practical matter, if the black ancestry is so trivial as to leave pelo meaningful physical Our site traces I suspect that it sometimes fades out of sight and the person in question actually becomes white. How often that happens, I don’t know.

It’s really not even a thing by this point, just a curiosity. Any skin lighteners she’d use would make her almost albino or something.

Are you kidding? Blacks LOVE race-mixing. They just want to be hypocrites and pretend they’re not doing it. That’s why they are the foremost opponents of multiracial and mixed-race identities as well as supporters of the “one drop” myth.

No they aren’t. They should have cast white actresses in the part (see my comment about Pinky) but that’s impossible in this day & age so the movie becomes ludicrous.
