That's right. I chose at random, because there are heavy people around here who don't like those from the Balkans. Although we are in the age of globalization.There in Romania and why do you have the Austrian flag?
:useless:Obviously, by these standards Brian May of "Queen" must have SSA ancestry. Or perhaps he's part Levantine because of his nose??? :innocent:
I don't know the reality for this man. If he has 14% of (true) SSA origin (some Americans think Arabs are "Blacks" and evey African drop of blood is shame!) he has nothing on his visible phenotype which evocates it. The proof that a little % of "foreign" autosomes can stay hidden. It occurs in families where this little % is seen on some children and NOT on their brothers/sisters.

Angela, yeah I agree that when mixed people say theyre "black" It just doesnt make sense lol. I don't consider myself "black" obviously, but I just said that I wouldnt care if people applied the 1 drop rule on me, because for me being black is not something bad...So if people want to believe Im black, then I dont care.
When you're 1/8th black, its very weird, I feel like people will not believe you when you say you're mixed race, and they wont accept you as white or black either
The "one drop rule" was clearly a method of domination, totally out of logic. If you mix half a liter of white paint with half a liter of black paint, the resulting liter of paint is neither black nor white, it is gray. If you take half a liter of that mixture, and mix it with another half liter of white paint, you will get a lighter gray. And if you continue doing this type of mixture, you will finally get a liter of white paint, which, if you do a chemical analysis, possibly you can find components of the original black paint. I know that genetics is not as linear as this, but it is something similar to what has happened with humanity, all the time ...
It shouldn't. I have serious qualms when an American who looks white, was raised white in a white community, suddenly becomes "black" upon discovering he or she is 1/8 or 1/16 SSA, or whatever, whether it's other people applying the label or the person him or herself. It's inauthentic, imo.
Halle Berry is a big offender in this way. She is always embroiled in battles with her ex and the media because she wants her daughter to always be referred to as "black". Well, she isn't; she's a child of mixed ancestry at the most, and that's the end of it. You have to label your own child now because of your politics?......
When are we ever going to just be people with various strands of ancestry?
From my side profile, can you classify me? or guess my ethnicity?
Facial feature wise and from profile, your morphology is basically fully Caucasian, but your skin tone and hair texture indicate small SSA admixture.
his skin tone is extremely light even for caucasian standards. the only thing that could maybe indicate SSA ancestry is the hair but there are plenty of fully caucasian people with very curly hair.
