I remember hearing a story like this maybe a decade ago, about a high school that maybe wanted to prevent interracial dating for a prom or something? And one mixed-race (I hate this term, but basically I hate the term "race"; it's a spurious leftover 19th century term from when people believed there were such things as races--and even then, it was used haphazardly, as in "the Irish race" and other nitwittery)... ahem, where was I... one girl with a black parent and a white parent said, "Well, who am I supposed to date, then?" and the principal said something along the lines of "Yeah, well, that's the problem, isn't it. Your parents made a big mistake."

Hateful.

When we lived in Japan in the early 1990s, I remember a lovely newspaper photo spread of kids who where "mixes"--kids with all kinds of interesting parentage, growing up all over. So much variety in how people can look, a thousand different skin tones, eye-nose-mouth shapes, hair textures---gorgeous. Why can't everyone LOVE that variety. I HATE the notion of pure ANY thing. (except food. I don't want weird contamination in my food.)
