Technically though, Alexandre Dumas, fils was an octoroon, and not a mulatto, right? —Gabbe 15:01, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)
Mulatto was the term Dumas and his father used and seems appropriate.
right. his father's father's mother was black. that makes him ⅛. Colorfulharp233 00:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Refering to his great-grandmother as a "young black Hatian" is inappropriate since she was never young in his lifetime and could be seen as using innuendo disapproving of the relationship or the race mixing. The word "young" was removed.
"Playwrighting career"???? Playwright is a noun, not a verb. It does not take the -ing ending. Perhaps "play writing" career is what was meant. The -wright in playwright is unrelated to the verb to write except as a pun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.68.134.1 (talk) 18:21, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
