("Kwan, whose father was Chinese and mother was Scottish")
My comment:
(a) miscegenation (n; irregular from Latin miscēre to mix + genus race):
"a mixture of races; especially : marriage, cohabitation, or sexual
intercourse between a white person and a member of another race"
(b) Nancy Kwan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Kwan
(關家蒨; born in 1939 at Hong Kong; was considered a sex symbol in the 1960s
)
(c) Though the report said so, I am unsure if one-drop rule
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-drop_rule
applied to Asians. In any event, anti-miscegenration laws in various states
were not abrogated until 1967 by United States Supreme Court in a ruling:
Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967).
* abrogate (vt): "to abolish by authoritative action : ANNUL"
