Have you read the fairly recent post on Peter St. Cross Station about the random woman asking how long Shannon's child has "been here"? You mean she's not a designer import?

Similar thinking. Ugh.

Further research has informed me that this random woman is herself multiracial. Not sure what, if anything, that does to the comment.

Well, greater genetic diversity among parents reduces the risk of nasty recessives, if I understand correctly. So a good blend could be one where it's clear the parents are unrelated.
