Original Note:
There is no definitive evidence that Heathcliffe was black, and to categorically state otherwise is to ignore vital context- lived experience of Bronte who lived and died in monoculture, 19thC rural Yorkshire, and the similar setting and ambiguous text of Wuthering Heights https://figshare.com/articles/journal_contribution/Heathcliff_race_and_Adam_Low_s_documentary_A_Regular_Black_The_Hidden_Wuthering_Heights_2010_/11359529?file=20179394
