So Charlize Theron was born in South Africa. Charlize Theron was born in Africa but is not an African American You where born in America. You call yourself an African Amercian but you where not born in Africa. Makes no sense to me. Why do we have to fill that bubble for race on an application anyway. It is a separatism tactic. They feel mo special. My negro friends, again, are not from africa and they get very upset being called african. They say it's an extreme insult. it doesnt make me feel special at all and it is no more a 'tactic' than a biological description of male vs female it is just a way to categorize a common biology/ancestry ,,etc,,, I dont like to be called 'black' because nowhere in the english language does the word hold anything but NEGATIVE connotations semantically and it comes nowhere close to describing anything about me |

There's positive and negative in all racial descriptions. But its only really Americans who avoid the word black. And I never understand either why Americans call mixed race people black, that confuses British people. One white Parent? Not black! Mixed race! Maybe it's a British thing but were kind of "state the obvious"

And I never understand either why Americans call mixed race people black, that confuses British people. One white Parent? Not black! Mixed race! Maybe it's a British thing but were kind of "state the obvious" mixed race doesnt truly group a common ancestry, that is why we dont use it as a racial distinction 'mixed' could imply african and irish, or mexican and indian, or indian and irish, or any number of combinations, many which have no common ancestry most americans , to be truthful have a 'mixed' heritage, but we associate by the heritage that we MOST connect with I also have scot(white) and west indian ancestry far back , for instance, but noone who saw me commit a crime would ever describe me as white or west indian, they would say it was a black woman its not as obvious to most black folks what 'black ' is, because we have so much variance in our appearance, because of the historically FORCED mixing many of our ancestors were subjected to so, the 'obvious' than becomes subjective based upon a persons experience,,,to me it is 'obvious' that mariah carey is black,,not because she has no white ancestry, but because I see more african than white in her when I look at her (Except her skin tone) and because I see features in her that I see in many of my own 'black' family members ,,,basically, race is largely PRESUMED by the observer based on asthetics, and different people have different experiences that ause them to categorize certain asthetics as 'black' and not others and those who fit neither category can neatly fit in a 'mixed' box but most , can fit people into one of the boxes offered,,, and most are probably going to have a category they MOST associate with based upon their life experiences and treatment by others,,, |
