As someone who is mixed, I can say that LKH's take on an interracial character is insulting to say the least. Anita only pulls out the 'mixed' card when she wants to prove that someone is racist. Disagree with Anita, you must be a racist because she's half Mexican. Yet the Mexican half of her heritage is pretty much non-existent the rest of the time.
Not to mention, LKH's belief that you can tell how 'mixed' Anita is because of her perfect, pure white skin and blackest blackity black hair. Because no one ever has that combination unless they are mixed ::coughBlackIrishcough::. Or how the disturbing fixation of how perfect and pure Anita's white skin is. Or, and we've all noticed this, how Anita never fucks anyone who isn't white.
LKH seems to think that all you have to do with a mixed character is just throw two different races together, forget about cultural background on each ethnicity and how that relates to being interracial. My background is predominately Jamaican, anyone familiar with the country will understand that Jamaica has a it's own history and perspective regarding mixed people, and that has influenced me along with growing up mixed in America, another differing perspective. LKH makes Anita half-Mexican and then ignores the Mexican part, the fact that the country already has some history and conflict regarding the ethnicity of it's own citizens (those of mainly Spanish descent vs those descended from indigenous Indians). I'm almost believe that her only experience with Mexico was watching the Zorro movie and eating Taco Bell. She'd probably be floored if you told her that Catherine Zeta-Jones isn't Mexican.
