Re: bitch

Another unpleasant fact: there are very few black people' in the US.

Almost all so-called blacks (those not recently immigrated from overseas) have varying percentages of Caucasian genes; the technical term for this is mulatto. More accurate than "black is beautiful" would be "brown is beautiful".

Do you want me to apologize for using accurate terminology?

I have not told you anything about your daughter nor will I.

"Mulatto" --I thought that word went out with Octoroon
IQ tests in the US are class based
People of the same income and social class level score
roughly the same regardless of color
My daughter, who is what you'd call an "octoroon" or
some such term scored almost perfectly on the SAT. But
from what you're telling me, I guess if she had a bit
more of the white stuff, she would have aced it.
