It depends, I mean not necessarily but you do come across those who think if you do or don't have certain features you must be mixed.

Having a black person and a non black person ask if you are mixed because of the same thing for example hair, like they can't believe a person could look a certain way and not be just black. Maybe it's more misinformed/less exposed.

Majority got those features from mixing:yeshrug:

Ethiopians look like Ethiopians to me. Most are clearly Black. Especially with my skin tone I ain't passing.

Ethiopians and pirates(somali) look like their mixed with arab or indian

No, it's a normal question. I just say no. But I can understand why I'm asked, I may look like I have recent white heratige, but I dont

Most look like Black people to me. Most do not look Arab. You could put one in a room full of AA and they would bend just find. The common facial features give it away ie larger eyes, larger foreheads and small but full lips. None of those features I consider Arab.

Seems like an inappropriate question to ask a complete stranger. I find it usually comes after a compliment like "You are beautiful. Are you mixed?" Followed by "Yes you are!" As if you can't be attractive and be Black. I've even had people get angry for "lying" about being mixed.

Most people think I am Ethiopian but I don't "looked mixed" in my opinion. I have a medium skin tone with locs. I am clearly Black.
I hear this quite often smh :francis:
