Someone told me that all "White" Americans have a touch of the tar brush at this point. Considering how easy it was for some quadroons to pass themselves off as white and integrate into respectable society I'm not surprised.

Just look at Jefferson. He fucks his Sally Hennings, his slave, who is mostly white and also the half sister of Jefferson's wife, and has several mostly white kids with her. He frees these children and they pass themselves off as white and go on to have a million descendants. Repeat that by a few thousand and there you go.

Honestly, if Sally Hennings looked anything like Rashida Jones or Jennifer Beals I can't really blame him.
