It never occurred to me to think they could have been of mixed race. I suppose it also never occurred to me to think someone belonging to genteel society in England at the time could have been of mixed race.

Thanks for the information about the character in Sanditon.

I guess I was thinking of hair color instead of skin color when she described someone as being "dark", which is also probably wrong now that everyone appears to have understood it as skin color.
