Thank you for this! Yes, I beleive her because as a mixed race woman myself, I have lived it. Granted, not in the public eye, but I've lived it. You can't make this shit up. You experience it or you don't.

I've been in the room when whispers about "what the baby will look like," are just below fully audible. I've been the belle of the ball, until the "N" in the woodpile was made known and suddenly all the approval was snatched away.

As for Clarkson, he's a sick and twisted person who is doing nothing more than adding to the fetishism that many of us mixed race women experience because you know, we tribal an' shit. Oh god, I could go on and on, but I did, twice and I won't clog your comments with it. :)
