I don't normally either but it seemed like that was such an unusual way of referring to a single person, it intrigued me & I looked into it a bit to find a lot of people were wondering why they did it in just this story, found out a lot of people picked up on it and repeated it throughout media and found others wondering if they would use similar combinations of terms to describe future members of different races/ethnicities and if that is to be the new way of describing those with mixed-race parents by media. So it got my attention. Have way too much time on my hands recently and I'm noticing lots of things I never did before.
