To all ladies and gents of mixed descent...
Black & white
I'm black
I like to think of myself as coral pink with a touch of sunshine yellow
I'm super mixed. Hawaiian Japanese Portuguese Creole Black White used to think Spaniard from what I was told of my bio dad but hes just white need to ask him him for more deets. I identify as Hawaiian because my hair is Hawaiian and I look more like my Hawaiian Japanese grandmother then my black mom.
I’m Colombian I look white does that count?

You must have privilege

Yeaaaa buddy white passing privilege is alive and well 🙄
What's your ethnic mixture, and do you identify with one of them more than the others?
Or do you just kind of consider yourself your own demographic, even if nobody else shares it? I'm super super mixed (Israeli, Lithuanian, Nigerian, Japanese, Hawaiian, Dominican), so I pretty much fall into this category 🤷
I consider myself my own demographic.
I'm of mixed heritage (Dutch, German, Portuguese, Indonesian, Malay, Chinese). I'd say I identify more with the European side, but only because of my name. Otherwise I see myself as my own demographic.

He's just white? Probably because Spain is in Europe. Lots of "white" people in Spain haha.

Need to ask him but currently taking space since I just found him after twenty plus years. Waiting for our dna results to come through but the family resemblance is strong l. I have his nose always wondered about that. And him but that's a future topic since he baffles me

Seems there are a few of us...perhaps we could start our own country 😋
I get very tired of the question so i just say im American now lol. I am like most of the other mutts out here. My birthfather was Czech and my birthmother Mexican-American so i often get the ethnicity question...
Aren't we all mixed at this point? Unless you live in Switzerland or something...
Israeli, Mexican, native american, and prolly some European in there.
Won't know for sure until I do that 23 and me. Someone has got to be lying is all I'm saying.
People think I'm irish. People think my sister is middle eastern or asian.
I do wonder how many have done the 23andme. I have been interested in doing it to see what my family line has in it. I think I am the last generation that will be "full" Vietnamese.

Actually, no. We have half Chinese, half white, and half Pakistan from my generation.
Indian. But not like very dark or brownish, I have a fair complexion like a light brown shade.
Thanks for clarifying, cause gosh what would we think if you were a dark Indian
Oh i know what I'd think, that you were actually smart since its the brown black Indians that have all the tech jobs
That's racist, but yeah what else do I expect from you guys who voted for Trump.
Why did you have to pronounce that you're not dark
You have issues

Colorism is everywhere
so mixed I can't identify with anything, and it's not that bad

You must be GORGEOUS!!
I'm Chippewa and European - German, Swedish n a tiny bit Irish. Also some sort of French-Canadian Native mix on my dad's side.
I wanna do DNA test sometime, it'd be cool!

If you’ll come out to be black - there is one person in Seattle you can make very happy!!! Maybe she’ll even pay for the test...
We are all African
We are all African
I know this is true. But yet untrue.
We are not all treated equally. And we are not all the same.
Not seeing our difference isn't good either. People's heritage etc means a lot to them or their difference.
Even if racism had never existed people would still wish you to see who they are.
But we are all human.

It's not really true at all. It's funny that topic was posted in the science forum, yeah "Science".
We all originated from one ancestor, Australopithecus Afarensis, who originated in Africa. But after our later ancestor Homoerectus started to spread out of Africa we began to develop slight adaptations. We all evolved to be the same species (Homosapien) but our mitochondrial dna is different.
And again there's the culture, language, art, social structure of an ethnicity. Plus like you said the racial inequality issue.
So no we are not all African, but we all are human. I wish we could remember that last bit a little more often.
Good rhyming on the tittle btw.
It's the next hit slam poetry piece

I mean it's only a matter of time before we make contact with the 4th dimensional space octopus people. I mean i think we humans will get on with them. I just think we should get our shit together tho ..for fucks sake.

But agreed, I believe we'll get there eventually.
