Talk:Tragic mulatta

I removed the Modern Relevance section, as it consisted of one example, Kendra from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which did not fit the definition given earlier in the article for tragic mulatta. The character of Kendra did not die or suffer in any way due to her race, nor was her racial background hidden then discovered. The idea of the tragic mulatta does not simply mean a mixed race woman who happens to die. --Xyzzyplugh 03:07, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Tragic?
I never got what was so tragic about being mulatta? I hope to be one again in my next life:-)--4.153.29.128 22:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Merge suggstion
Tragic mulatta and tragic mulatto should be merge into one article, given that they are essentially the same term. The small distinction (at least according to the intro on the tragic mulatta article) -- Literary critics sometimes distinguish the tragic mulatta from the tragic mulatto in that the latter encompasses a broader defition that includes characters suffering from a sort of biracial angst, while the former term applies specifically to the female characters existing during the time period in which the presence of "negro blood" would result in legally sanctioned restrictions. -- can simply be used the opening introduction, much like it usually is. The rest of the article than just be one big thing regarding "tragic mulattoes", or it can be broken down into 2 parts, "mulatta" and "mulatto". Either way, however, two pages aren't needed.

Pass?
Mulattas can't pass...only Creoles can. Creoles are like Marie Laveau...unlike most people's images of her.. she would look white not like a light skinned black american. m.sierra
