I love this. As you say, scientists have long told us that race is not a biological concept, but it has been for some time a powerful social concept. Your data gives us a great deal of hope that perhaps our long struggle against racial ideology and racist may be taking a positive turn. Hooray!
Unfortunately, just because we’re increasingly mixed race doesn’t mean that we won’t look down on others who are less or more of something than we are if history is any indication
Now there's some good news!
Great, heartening — my granddaughter yearns for cocoa skin tone like her half Black, half Italian pal.

Thanks, Alan. Means a lot to get confirmation from a scientist!
Thanks, Marcia. I'm afraid might be right. Freud called this the tyranny of small differences.
