Gee, thanks for putting me on to that site. After skimming that article I think I may just have found to outdo it:

My interracial marriage unintentionally became a protest in the Trump era
Quote:
From the article:

I’m about as white as humanly possible: 97% Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, according to 23andME. My wife is half Mexican and half Honduran with a diaspora of ancestral ties across the globe.
I wonder if this genius will ever figure out they are both caucasians.....

Sitting at one of my son's baseball practices I was talking to another parent who happened to be a teacher and the topic came to grading and the grading system. They said if I had ever heard of the "not yet" grade? Even though this is several years old, I had not heard of it. In my time, you failed and repeated that grade.
