@Teri_Kanefield@mastodon.social Thanks for writing this. The demographics are skewed by "one drop" theory (any non-white ancestor -> you're not white). So those numbers reflect, at least in part, mixed marriages producing children defined by society as "not-white". A "white" couple we know had a baby with distinctly negro features. Huge uproar, accusations of infidelity. DNA tests showed it *was* his, and she had an African ancestor from a century or so ago. DNA isn't a paint pot.
