So if a half black/half white person chooses to only identify with their white side you wouldn't have a problem with it?

as long as they still acknowledge the black ancestry they have than no I wouldn't really have a problem

the thing is, race can't be changed or chosen. you are what you are. why is that so hard to grasp?

ethnic groups have more room and isn't all black and white. if someone is biracial and feels african american or west indian american because they grew up in the culture, the same culture of many of their ancestors, then that person actually has a case.

you just repeated what I was saying your last point

No. African American and West Indian aren't races.

What you and her said were two different things.

but race is a cultural aspect also and some multiracial people feel more comfortable identifying themselves with that race in particular

Tdot.. till the death of me
Just a question

If the wolves wanna eat, so be it....:yeshrug:

But is there proof that her father is white? I haven't seen any pic or anything, I know he's from Europe but there are black AND mixed people in Europe

I only ask because she doesn't even look mixed

race affects culture, but that doesn't make it a culture or ethnicity. black people all around the world are going to be different because of cultures.

a mixed race person might feel more in touch with the black culture in this country but move that same mixed person to another country and they might feel more close with the mixed or even non-black culture. then what? are they black in america and mixed or white everywhere else? :mindblown:

i'm black. if i feel more comfortable with white culture then does that make me white? can i claim white?

*Afro. Not all Jamaicans and West Indians are black.

not all african americans are either, and i clearly said for me :wtb:

edit: i see you were talking about in general. ignore.

I just don't see the big deal in someone who happens to be half black racially identifying with the minority group
I don't agree with the practice, but it is what it is
