"Americans envision drawings of Columbus jumping out in the New World with this stigma of domination and exploitation," Burton said. "But that version could be affected if you have the white male stepping out to dominate the New World, and you have an African woman stepping out with him."

Well, there is only one solution then: Get some tribe to claim these bones belong to their sacred trabe and must be buried immeadiately so further study can be stopped. We wouldn't want to find out that diversity existed back in the 15th century, would we? < / sarcasm >

Including both slave and free of the same racial background. I suspect the reasoning of that age would baffle us.
