German only if their dads were black American GIs which wasn't so uncommon. There was racism in Germany, but there were no laws in place making life difficult for biracial couples. To many German
Fräuleins, black GIs were a breath of fresh air after the oppressive war years and the black soldiers arrived in Germany as victors that could go anywhere they wanted without having to heed segregation. At the same time they showed empathy*** with the occupied because they knew from home what it was like to be a second class citizen.
Ramona's dad was a GI. I had a crush on her when I was about 10 years old.
You probably know her better from here:
Seriously now, the other Soul Sisters?

They look very German to me.
*** My mom's first experience with a black man in 1945 was a positive one (albeit she reacted inappropriately). Dieburg, our home town, was being occupied by a black US tank group (who had also fought valiantly). As they were driving around in their Shearmans one of the tank crew, most likely the commander, threw candy to my mom. She just froze, didn't dare pick it up (unlike the other kids), though she was starving for sweets (sugar was rationed in wartime Germany), but she had been fed with all that bullshit propaganda of American soldiers poisoning the German population. When the black tank soldier realized that my mom was going to ignore his present, he (rightfully!) swore "
you f***ing Nazi!".

My mom regretted not picking up the sweets (other kids of course did) already on her way home and once there her two younger sisters almost stoned her for "being so stupid". She never stopped feeling embarrassed about it, even with old age.
