It is requested that an image or photograph of Tragic mulatto be included in this article to improve its quality. Please replace this template with a more specific media request template where possible.
Tragic mulatta and tragic mulatto should be merge into one article, given that they are essentially the same term. The small distinction (at least according to the intro on the tragic mulatta article) -- Literary critics sometimes distinguish the tragic mulatta from the tragic mulatto in that the latter encompasses a broader defition that includes characters suffering from a sort of biracial angst, while the former term applies specifically to the female characters existing during the time period in which the presence of "negro blood" would result in legally sanctioned restrictions. -- can simply be used the opening introduction, much like it usually is. The rest of the article than just be one big thing regarding "tragic mulattoes", or it can be broken down into 2 parts, "mulatta" and "mulatto". Either way, however, two pages aren't needed.

this page needs a LOT more than it offers. for fuller understanding, the term needs to be contextualized within the discourses of film, media, and literary theory. it seems to have a great deal of play in those arenas, as they animate an otherwise perplexing lived experience (perplexing to those with a less liminal cultural identity).
I have deleted the mention of the short story "Desiree's Baby" as the synopsis given is factually inaccurate. In "Desiree's Baby", Desiree is NOT actually the tragic mulatto--although she suffers the fate of several 'tragic mulattoes', it is revealed that her husband is the one who is part black. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.15.0 (talk) 01:45, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
