No doubt he was pitied as a child for being of mixed race. Back in 1961, it was severely frowned upon. When a child is pitied, there is no level of expectation for said child.
Witness those “parents” who feel guilty about divorce, etc. and compensate by having zero expectations and simply overindulge their children. Who turn out to be spoiled brat little dictators.

Most of the Millennial Generation as well as Generation Snowflake were raised this way.
To top it all off, the aforementioned generations are also given A.S.S. (Adult Spousal Status) as their separated/divorced/never married “parents” view them as their equals/confidants from the moment they are born and end up “free ranging” them.
Said generations have complete control over their parents, leaving them deep down distrustful, dissatisfied, insecure and generally miserable.
