Indians are the South Asian subcontinent, not the Middle East. Latino is a vaguely defined ethnic (or national) identity, not racial. It ranges from blonde-white to blue-black and is ethnic/cultural. A lot of people think Mexican (mestizo) when they think Latino, and that's a subset of Latinos, not the entirety by any stretch. Arabs are highly intermixed with East Africans, especially in the southern half of the Arabian peninsula. Persians, Turks and Phoenicians/Lebanese, and those in the north are the ones who exhibit very few black characteristics, but Arabs (because it's also a cultural designation to some extent) often have coarse hair, fuller features, etc. Seriously, all of those pics I posted earlier were of Yemeni and Omani women (Saudi Arabia's neighbors).

I disagree about the bone structure and think that external facial and hair features are what people generally use to identify race.
 
daaaaaannnnngggg

I beginning to see maybe where you live may have something to do with too. We have a lot more ethnic whites in the Northeast particularly NY.
I remember a light skin friend of mine making a valid point, "why am I considered black when I can see at least five "white" people that I'm lighter than"
It was a fair assessment.
 
You mean like this guy? Lol

lol yeah pretty much and he gets to claim white. A little bit of history for you guys, the Japanese were considered white before Pearl Harbor and afterwards had their "privilege" revoked. Interesting how fluid that bs is

Yeah, Marcus Samuelsson. Very talented guy. The group that most resembles the features you are talking about are the Tigrinya and Amharic groups. The Oromo look a bit different. These groups are also among the groups that have had the most interaction with the Middle East historically, so it's not surprising that they have features in common with Arabs, especially further south. The presence of any African features is indicative of the presence of African genes because you cannot outwardly express what you don't have inside. And there are some groups that are by their very nature hybrid groups (Latinos, Arabs, et al). Most of them are formed either at the land area between different races and look like a hybrid between the two, or by the deliberate mixing of the racial groups over time (Latinos).
 
i dont know about the latino thing but ok

u probably rite....more so you are rite
 
You do realize tdk was making the statement how someone else may see them and or what diff race they could call themselves ,, that's what we were saying,, Vanessa Williams can and would pass for a number of diff races ,,
That's it,, didn't mean anything else
she is clearly black so my point stands.
 
Agreed. Yemeni women have a LOT of African features, too. They are just across the gulf from Eritrea/Ethiopia/Djibouti/Somalia. She could also pass for Algerian or Moroccan, depending on how African the woman is. But that's because some of these designations are more ethnic than racial.


That could easily be Vanessa Williams under there, lol.

there are black me. vw is around your complexion and i can tell you are black. to me if they look black just means they have black in them.
 
Seriously, you are TDK's no 1 apologist and butt kisser.

He did not say that, he said she is not the first black miss America. Bullshit. Yes she is, don't give 2 fux if she doesn't pass your or your crush's brown paper bag test. She is black, was born from two black parents, she identifies as black and looks black, even if you think she looks other nationalities - fact is she looks and is black and that's all that matters.

She was the first (Black)Miss America. Deal with it.

i could kiss you....great post.... /thread.
 
Yes they sure do. I think some of these ignorant comments stem from a lack of travel. The aborigines and Ethiopians (to name few) disprove the myth that black people only look (or 'must look') one one way and have one specific type of facial features.

preach....some of these posters have clear color issues......
