QzDaddy, Jada Pinkett-Smith's mother is Mualatto as she told a magazine. And the term Mulatto is still in use because census has a legal definition of mulatto. It is anyone born to a black parent and a white parent, two Mulatto parents, or to a mulatto parent and a black or a mulatto and a white.

I already know what the word "mulatto" means; this is a defunct word that was used 200 years ago to define people. Also, if you want to know how people are currently defined in the "United States", go to the United States Census Bureau". | QzDaddy 13:18, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] father's occupation

We have a link to the contractor disambiguation page, which I'm trying to clean up. I don't know what sort of contractor he was, so for the moment I've opted to link to Independent_contractor. This is a bit of a catch all. If he was a general_contractor please change the link. LeeG 14:26, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Please disregard the above--someone blanked the page, so I thought there was no existing article! I just reverted it to bring back the article.

[edit] Trivia section

Was it true that Jada auditioned for the role of Will Smith's girlfriend on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and didn't get it because she was too short? Or not? (Note: Is that the role that went to Nia Long in the end?)--80.47.106.229 18:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
