Good morning everyone. Welcome to our debate this morning. I guess the first issue to address is a broader one about the term mixed itself: Does the term mixed carry any coherent meaning when discussing Race?<\/div>\n

Like all general terms, mixedness is in danger of conflating a number of different social phenomena.\u00a0\u00a0To be mixed race Black\/white has a very specific meaning in many societies. Should mixedness be discussed and explored?\u00a0\u00a0Absolutely.<\/div>\n
