The word 'mulatto' is derogatory. It's better to say 'bi-racial with Black %26amp; White', or Black %26amp; White mixed blood. Mulatto is very specific, but it means 'muled'. The idea of 'race' is now discarded because 'race' having separate origins has been disproved, but distinct gene pools have developed. Report It

Reply:There's a whole bunch of socio/argumental stuff you could read but I think it has to do with photogenic qualities in lighting
Reply:Some light skinned mixed kids have one White parent and one Black parent, and brothers and sisters who are lighter or darker than they are. TV and movies aren't known to be realistic anyway. They still have difficulty, because there is still a lot of racism in the USA, in portraying mixed families. They want sponsors and a lot of viewers, and some segments of society still object to the mixing of the races, while the majority are coming to accept intermarriages between ethnic groups in our diverse society. Choose well what tv programs and movies you support by paying money to watch and buy sponsors products. Write letters to the network and producers with your feedback.
Reply:maybe it is actually their own child, anyway, looks more natrual than having a chinese parents with a black african baby, unless adopted of course. yes, there are 365 or near shades of black skin...so what...sometimes it doesn't quit match, environment, the child grew up in, etc sun, you must know
Reply:Probably less 'shocking' to the general public.
Reply:Just because the kid has light skin he/she cant be with dark skinned parents?
Reply:I think it's because society doesn't want to show a mixed family, cause society always say mixed ppl are more considered black.
Reply:why are you complaining? It's just tv. BESIDES, you hardly see any real full-black people on tv anyways. Gees.
Reply:What I want to know is why are you asking the same question over and over again?
Reply:What is the deal with you? You are really "color struck." Why do you have an issue with people who have dark skin??? And please quit referring to bi/multiracial Blacks as Mulatto. This is a very derogatory term.
Reply:Does it really matter, it's just a color.
