It's fascinating to me as well! We are really dealing with the myth that "dark" or "non-white" genes always overwhelm "white" ones. Too many Americans (white, black and otherwise) are startled that "light" can come out of "dark" They've been led to believe that this is impossible except in freakish cases. You'll notice that in the anti-passing films, "Imitation of Life" and "Pinky," the "passing" figure is presented as a genetic freak born to Negroes and not as a descendant of whites.
