...Census counts 20% of Negroes as mulattoes. Private sociological estimates put the mulatto per centage at 80%. Mr. Embree believes that "well above half of the Negroes in America have some white or Indian blood." For a half century Negroes and mulattoes have been marrying mainly among their own color "and so distributing the primary blood mixtures more and more evenly throughout the new race."
