I have never ran into that kind of outrageous behavior. Know not just here in the south but everywhere you can find such. I think just shows their ignorance by such comments. I lived in Atlanta proper for about 30 years and live further south now. Here it is a live and let live type situation. What years are you talking about by the way? It is such a common thing to see here, the mixed children, not so when my daughter born 30+ years ago.
