You look like Anne Hathaway!

You total LOOK black, the texture of your hair is black and your complex is BLACK. So I guess your black mother genes are very strong!!! WOW!!

@july95211 I don't understand what you're talking about. Can you recommend a book so I can study this concept?

[july95211]

@etemuru If your a black man, then your caucasan, your NOT afrikan, because the race of black man is a caucasian hYbrid; ALL men are caucasian, regardless of colour, melanin is man-made, miry clay/ dust, it's NOT natural melanin, because natural melanin is NOT brown; black man are NOT afrikan; i am a pre-adamite(afrikan) wemen, we are a wemen's race, separate seed to the black man; the seed of the black man is caucasian,mixedrace,mongoloid ,non-afrikan peoples;

mixed people are considered

@july95211 huh? My mother is this complexion and she's far from the common term known as caucasian. People who need to define race incessantly like some of you do, are racist at their core to me. There is no such thing as race biologically. I can understand clinging to a certain color or ethnicity though; I am proud to be a Nigerian! My race: idk. I know what I look like to people though. Race is a social construct unfortunately. This Tiffany girl will learn that MOST people consider her BLACK?

99% of the time, perception is reality. If you look black then your black. However, when it comes to biracial people (black and white) who look white, people want to challenge it.

@july95211 "There's NO such thing as a white race, caucasians are mixedrace"

They may be somewhat mixed today but there are still whites in northern europe. Anyway you are wrong. This girl does not look 100% white as YOU JUST WROTE. YOU ARE CONFUSED.
