@chsn09 my point from the start. all have at least two 'races' (mixed) and many (not all but alot) have african ancestry.
2
@chsn09 that is the reason. some euros think they are pure 100% european. that makes me laugh.
2
@chsn09 well he kinda has to do that due to his position. take someone with the same admixture and put up his mugshot on the 10pm news 'wanted for murder, an african american...blah blah blah'....never heard arquette or depp to be black but if they had a parent who was part black they would be seen as black. note the rock and tyson beford. there is no buffer race like in south africa.
1
@chsn09 argue with your reflection,
1
@chsn09 she could. might be a great great great great grandparent. might only be 4% or whatever but it still might be there.
1
@chsn09 few know this. are one of their parents or grandparents part black? have they been seen together? you can answer your own question.
1
@nnnnnsssssssssllllln but many did mix. many natives were killed and all that was pretty much left was slaves and master.
1
@chsn09 in the states tiger is black. it is what it is.
1
@chsn09 ok cool. now we are getting someplace. so as for the 'general look' thing we find that most latinos have european and native american. this is part of that general look.
1
@nnnnnsssssssssllllln everyone is mixed in cuban and many are mixed with african. iberians themselves are mixed with african and arab moors and they mixed with native americans and africans and then their offspring mixed with others again and again and again and again...
1
@chsn09 youre not hearing me. read my mixed and many comment then comment. in fact read it 10 times before you reply. thanks.
1
@nnnnnsssssssssllllln last comment to you cause you are in denial. i suggest you get an encyclopedia AND get your autosomal dna tested for the shock of your life. good luck buddy.
1
@chsn09 well if we are talking about race it is the human race. african, european, native american, asian are just exspressions of the same human race. so a person might be seen as 'white' in one place might be seen as 'black' in another. all by how they look. yes the one drop rule is alive and well in american culture.
1
@chsn09 you need to research where the one drop rule came from. it was used to keep pepole slaves after 1807 when england would patrol the seas for slaveships. no new slaves meant that people who were 1/8 african could still be slaves and be seen as african yet have blonde hair and blue eyes. a-rod, jason kidd, the rock, tiger etc are not seen as white for this reason.
1
most cubans have some african line someplace
1
@chsn09 ya never know what will happen. might be some name we could never think of. people 1,000 years ago couldnt think of what it would really be like now.
1
@nnnnnsssssssssllllln cuba by default is a mixed nation and many have african ancestry someplace in their line...could be a parent, grand parent, great great grandparent or way WAY back but african is in there someplace.
1
@chsn09 now youre talking about ethnicity now. if took the dna of a 'white' person they might show to have 25% african or native american. or the dna of a 'black' person might show to have 25% european. use whatever mix you want but im only talking about dna and not cultural terms which change from time to time and place to place. in the states if a person has one drop of african ancestry they are black. tiger woods, a-rod, derick jeeter, jason kidd, maria carry etc.
1
@chsn09 people dont use those ugly terms anymore. not in the states at least.
1
@chsn09 you mistake nationality and ethnicity again
1
@chsn09 all have mixed dna and many have african ancestry
1
@nnnnnsssssssssllllln what are you talking about? i already told you there was lots of mixing 250k africans came to cuba in the mid point of the 1800s.
1
@chsn09 this would mean they had one great great great grandparent who was black. now if they had the look and or culture sure.
1
@chsn09 well read my past comments...nuff said.
1
@chsn09 so what people group is 100% anything???????? see you next year.
1
@chsn09 every ethnicity has a general look. an average look. accept it.
1
@chsn09 again you can answer your own question here. do most hispanics have some amount of native american and european ancestry?
1
@chsn09 depp is german, irish and cherokee. arquette is poland jewish. since people know maya fahey has a black mother she is seen as black. victoria rowell doesnt look white. if a person looks black at all and or has known ancestry they are seen as black here in the states. might not be like that world wide but it is what it is here.
1
@chsn09 you didnt answer the question and now you change your story on the afican ancestry topic. please answer the question...its yes or no...very simple.
