Gary Mitchell too, but in both cases, I believe it counts as a mutation.

Irrelevent. The point is humans posseses a wide variety of cultures traits and characteristics, so there's no reason that a group of aliens can't. Even if its a trait not seen in humans.
The Aenar, a sub species of the Andorians are telepaths even though other Andorians are not.
Exactly. A Sub. Species.
I do, but my point was that Vulcans and Romulans aren't "exactly the same species" as KingDaniel was suggesting.
No, they arent exactly the same sub species.
SPECIES
Vulcanoid
SUB SPECIES
Vulcan
Romulan

We're in agreement.
Pointy ears and telepathy, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
A blonde Vulcan? Perish the thought!!!!!
A displaced Vulcan-offshoot from the Delta Quadrant who only lives nine years, yes!
Because he had lied about it when he applied to join Starfleet.
False, it's because there was a witch-hunt going on for Romulan infiltrators at the time and he made an excellent scape goat. The fact that he lied on his admission form was all the excuse they needed.
Why make the distinction between a Romulan grandfather and a Vulcan grandfather if they are the exact same species?

The political entity with which they associated with. A person who grew up thinking the phrase, "I am a Romulan," would be a larger potential threat to the Federation than would a person with the phrase "I am a Vulcan." Besides, Vulcans live by Surak's ways and would rather have peace; Romulans wouldn't.
Since the two Lt. Saaviks were so different, I believe that a later script could have brought both of them back, explaining that they were half-sisters, and only one of them was half-Romulan. I thinl it could have worked nicely.
So, same mother, or same father?
(And can they somehow go through pon farr with each other?)
Interesting,was Saavik 2 coincidentally serving aboard the Grissom?
All rampant speculation . . .
Assuming that the half-sisters got their father's name (Western chauvinism, I know), I suppose that one had a Romulan mother. Maybe "Saavik" is a feminized variant of a male forebear's name: their father or uncle may have been named "Savik," a name in the general Vulcan mode. But if dramatic needs require, we can alter the parentage as needed.
Coincidence? Why not? It's been invoked before. But it seems that Saavik I was a captain-in-training, whereas Saavik II was science officer material.

^The original plan for Saavik (before Nimoy decided to return) was for her to replace Spock as Enterprise science officer.
