An Insolvable Problem of Genetics Middle-angle |
This is a true story that happened to a friend of the
authors', showing that even a person who is not a racist, under certain
circumstances, may get into trouble because of race.
Adolf started hanging around with Freddie, who was white skinned with a skinny figure and seemly features. His parents welcomed his decision because she was an illegitimate daughter of a lady, from a family with an excellent profile, but only one thing really bothered them, which was her given name. One day his father asked Freddie, singing a protest song against racial discrimination, why her name was of English origin. Having just decided to marry Adolf, she willingly explained that her father was a very black skinned American migrant worker and she inherited her name from him. Father diligently studied various books about genetics, trying to find a satisfactory answer to the question why totally white skinned girl's father was very black, but got no clear answer. Then he advised Adolf to break off the relationship for fear of possibility that Freddie having a black child, which people in town would surely misunderstand that the child's father was one of the African students residing there. However Adolf loved Freddie so much that he couldn't give her up. So what Adolf and his father did next was to spread all around the town that Freddie's father was a very black American migrant worker, telling impliedly it was likely that she would have a black child even if her husband was white skinned. But this really got on Freddie's nerve, and she told Adolf in their arguments that her ancestors came from various origin, such as Japanese, Pygmy, Jewish gypsy. They broke up after all. Adolf's desperate efforts went down the drain. A little later Freddie had twins, one was a boy and the other a girl, but both were completely pink. No explanation for that phenomenon were in books. |
