Re: Certain last names and race

OK. I am not American, and my ancestors were not African. However. My ancestors were conquered by Europeans, who forcibly baptized them into being Catholics or Anglicans (depending on whether Catholics or Anglicans got to a certain tribe first), and gave them names like White, and Blanchard (think the French "blanc" -- yeah, these would be the ones who were caught by Catholics), in order to forcibly Anglicize/"purify" them, etc.

IDK if the same holds true for the slaves, but it's entirely possible, that that is where these surnames came from.
