Well my point was you can not go off of physical attributes because they don't tell the whole story about where someone is from.

Personally, I wouldn't judge you based off of your looks.



I would ask you where are you from or what do you personally identify as.


I personally identify myself as African American.

I have two African American parents.

However, there are more races that run in my family and in my ancestry such as Caucasian and Native American

Thats my story.

Sometimes people might think you are a certain race based off of physical appearances and that may not necessarily be true.

It doesn't matter that it is scientific. White slave owners called Africans the n word because they thought it was scientific too. It doesn;t make it right.
If slave owners used the word that still doesn't take away from its neutral scientific use.

You can not use that term to define physical attributes. I gave a perfect example for why you can not do that. So you insisting this still without any examples does not support your opinion much.
I did give you examples: white South Africans and Arab Egyptians. They're just as much from Africa as sub-Saharan Africans.

She is spanish, period. She is not African American although she looks like she could pass for it, thats my point.
If she's purely Spanish then why does she look black? Does she not have African slave blood? And like I said, the Spanish also have black African blood in them from the Moors.

So even calling yourself African American isn't entirely accurate. You're essentially denying your other ethnicities. If you can't use physical attributes to define race, then you are also both Caucasian and Native American.

I thought the Moors conquered the Italians. I watched True Romance at least a hundred times.

If I were legitimately asked I would say ,Black American. There is nothing remotely African about me. Nor do I want there to be.Africa sucks wind. Light Black however was the best one Ive heard from Jamaicans..
