SCG said mixed children are seldom accepted by whites or blacks
From the minority’s point of view, every baby born to European parents “improved” the dangerous racial imbalance, while each child with a white father and a black mother increased the ranks of the slaves and served as a reminder of the Europeans’ precarious social and genetic position. Mulattoes, editorialized the Gazette , “are seldom well belov’d either by the Whites or the Blacks.” (SCG 3/22/35)
