LOL! I feel any post that includes the word "quadroon" is worth a read. (Now I'm thinking of that "Curb Your Enthusiasm" where Larry gets a friend's kid a doll and happilly announces "she's a mulatto!")
Well there is that car-crash aspect of it. But really, anyone who starts from a premise like that really doesn't have much of a leg to stand on no matter what their ultimate conclusion is. I half expected the the essay to be peppered with "Ah do declayah!" and "Mercee me!"
