Re: Certain last names and race

[(Anonymous)]

I think I know what you mean, OP, although I'm having trouble thinking of a strong example. A lot of it is that the African-American population of the northern and western US draws heavily from families in the south (a lot of blacks have roots in South Carolina for some reason), and the specific family names that ended up there back in colonial days didn't end up even in Anglo-Saxon parts of the north--or not as much.

Also, even in the South this can happen. When the Scots settled the Mississippi Delta, some families intermarried with blacks, while others stayed "pure." So a name that would be unremarkable for a white man elsewhere became a "black" name, while the other family names represent "pure" "white" families--in a given county. (This specific case is mentioned the book Never Is a Long Time.)
