What if a white baby were being reared by a black or other colored mother? Would the baby then identify itself as coloured and prefer that shade of skin? ...

I was working on a remote site in Iran for about six months and was the only white face there. When I eventually went to a bar in town there were a few English guys there; they appeared quite foreign to me.

Also many white babies were wet nursed by black slaves in The South.
I have heard it said that that is one of the reasons white slave owners took black slaves as lovers. They associated black women with love and nurturing. Perhaps I shouldn't have limited that to The South. Didn't Jefferson do the same thing?
