They had both "white" and "African" weddings after the payment of "lobola" dowry and a ritual sheep slaughter. But they are an exception to the norm even 25 years after the end of apartheid white-rule when Nelson Mandela became the first black president, promising a "rainbow nation". Over time the pair have become accustomed to being stared at - mostly because of "fascination" suggested Cheryl, 31, laughing along with her husband.

In one incident an elderly white couple in a restaurant in northern Limpopo province muttered "disgusting" in Afrikaans, the language of the original Dutch settlers' descendants. We were in that stage of turmoil for so many years," said Mpho. One of the first laws, adopted in , banned "mixed marriages" between Europeans and non-Europeans. To be able to marry a person of a different race, applicants could ask to change their own race - bureaucratic surrealism permitted by law.

Around that time, Mpho's family left the Soweto township, a hotbed of anti-apartheid activism, for Roodepoort, a white suburb 20 kilometres 12 miles away. That is when I saw I was different," he said. Cheryl grew up in Cape Town followed by Roodepoort and had an upbringing she described as "sheltered". The couple attended the same school, a few years apart, and met at a party thrown by mutual friends in the early s. Researcher Haley McEwen at the Wits Centre for diversity studies said: "Couples who go out are given poor service, they are stared at, people don't take their relationship seriously like their families.

Cheryl and Mpho were brought together by a shared love of poetry before they became involved romantically. What are the people going to say? People always say, 'Aren't you insulted when people call you white trash? Because when you're that poor and you're not educated, you fall in those categories. Use of "white trash" epithets has been extensively reported in African American culture. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

People have an idea that all Danes are blonde-haired and blue-eyed. Nella Larsen, the amazingly talented Harlem Renaissance author, who was half-black and half-Danish is my literary muse and mother. Her first novel—published in —featured a character that was half-black and half-Danish and it received a lot of critical acclaim.

She was the writer that gave me permission to tell my curious little story about a black Danish girl.

She was no Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, or Gloria Naylor—my favorites and great influences, because I wanted to be a black woman writer. When I saw that her grave was unmarked, I hunted down the family that owned the plot and got permission to install a headstone for her almost fifty years after her death. I wrote an essay about that experience, which is available on my Web site. I went to college at Stanford, in California, where I lived in a Hispanic-themed dorm my freshman year.

I became the second-vice chair of the Hispanic Electrical Engineering Society.
