Talk about your Oedipus complexes.

"Tragic mulatto" stereotype ahoy: it's not particularly shocking insofar as so many biracial children, especially those whose early lives are highly and negatively affected by race, wind up "taking sides," which they simply cannot do. There's a renunciation of one or the other heritage but it cannot be excised, and usually-irrational overcompensation becomes the only route. (Hahaha I was about to say that this "ruins the whole point of interracial children" but that's a bit selfish.)
