A couple of my kids(one in particular) made an observation about mulattos that I hadn't personally considered. I've always thought of halfbreeds as pitiable creatures, because their condition severely marginalized them, from a racial purist perspective. However, my kids observed that mulattoes are socially worse than negroes, because they think they're better than negroes, and are therefore even more inclined than negroes to attempt to associate upwards.

That was something I hadn't really considered before, but seemed glaringly obvious, once it was pointed out. The probable reason I missed that point is that, regardless of my personal feelings on the matter, I don't really want other races to view sticking to their own as a societal restriction, but as their personal best option; because breeding outside your race should be viewed as degrading your race, no matter who you are. Isn't that why halfbreeds are traditionally shunned, in every society, because they're viewed as the other, as outsiders? Therefore, I've always considered a halfbreed's only option to either abstain from breeding entirely(the optimal scenario) or to find another halfbreed, to perpetuate their halfbreed race(a distant second option).
