My comment:
(a) miscegenation (n; irregular from Latin miscēre to mix + genus race):
"a mixture of races; especially : marriage, cohabitation, or sexual intercourse between a white person and a member of another race"
(b) Nancy Kwan

(關家蒨; born in 1939 at Hong Kong; was considered a sex symbol in the 1960s)
(c) Though the report said so, I am unsure if one-drop rule
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-drop_rule
applied to Asians. In any event, anti-miscegenration laws in various states were not abrogated until 1967 by United States Supreme Court in a ruling: Loving v. Virginia,  388 U.S. 1 (1967).

* abrogate (vt): "to abolish by authoritative action : ANNUL"
