    Yeah, back in the day people really cared whether someone was octoroon or mulatto.

    Today, many people are going to have to look up those terms.

      People should know their antiquated slurs. They’re always fun to pepper in a conversation.

      Hello my fellow quadroons

        I know this might surprise you, but there is a small minority of the population that hasn’t watched every episode of every show ever made.

        For those poor souls, it might be nice to add a link so they know what in G$d’s name you are talking about.

          Does anyone else wonder how people like this survive in the real world? Like, they tilt themselves into a stroke over a reference to a song about asses in a cartoon when they could’ve just typed it into a search bar and giggled for 10 seconds like everyone else.

          Also censorship is for fascists, let’s knock that shit off
