In my opinion, the funniest thing about the phrasing of the headline:
It would just straight up make it illegal to be a woman of color in Florida, which might be the republican goal irl
Now you're getting it
No, they're allowed to be of colour. They just need to produce white sons somehow.
It's technically possible for a woman of color to have white children, due to Punnett square shenanigans. Not likely, but it has happened.
But there's also the issue of the timeline. Age of consent in Florida is 18, so (assuming no other laws are to be broken) this would require even white women to have an average of six kids in four years. Which is…also improbable.
Indeed, I know someone who looks like she's a mix of black and white. Her parents look black and her brother looks white.
