My grandma came to the states with her new American husband saying that her kids would be American and promptly didn't teach them shit about the Philippines. Unfortunately if you're biracial and look it you know uuuh that is not a thing other (white) people will ever let you do
I know tES got that whole thing where the kid will always take after the mom but there's always outliers and at least one case I saw where a later generation showed traits of older generations and that's just how genetics work anyway. SO Yorick's mom passes for a Nord, Yorick's dad passes for Breton, Yorick probably takes after his paternal grandmother and is only 25% Sea Elf but just a smattering of almost every kind of Human on Tamriel and he will default to literally anything but Maormer. Not because he's ashamed about it but because people are super annoying with that shit and it's funnier to make them angry than explain.
Also everyone not familiar with Maormer mistaking him for something that isn't Maormer except for Altmer who can clock him from five miles away amuses me.
