The initial version of this paper was presented at a Philosophy Colloquium earlier this year. Despite my reservations about having this usually private discussion in a public forum, the feedback that I received was overwhelmingly positive. In follow-up conversations with professors, I was given further advice on how I might try to turn the paper into a publication. But you get my drift. The mountain of feedback that I received probably has to do with the fact that the question of interracial relationships, specifically between Black and white people in North America, has been extensively rehearsed.
