If you dont look white you are NOT WHITE. Get it through your head. If you dont look black you are not black. If you look chinese you are chinese. You are obviously mixed if you dont look white if you claim to be white and obviously mixed with something else if you say you are black but dont look it.

Race is a social construct, you moron.
Fair-skinned people are considered "black" in Sweden, where everyone is paper-white, but they are a "white", creole ethnic elite in Haiti, where the majority of the population has a very much darker skin tone.
The definition of race varies with the culture you live in. In Brazil or the US, where there's a lot of racial diversity, there is a distinction between white people, mestizo people, native indians or blacks.
However, in a very homogenous country, any non-white will tend to be instantly labeled black regardless of his origin.
Hindu people also tend to be labeled black... and guess what? They are hindus, they don't have African descent...they are not "black".
This is because, again, race is a social construction.
Edit:
Further evidence to support my statement...
It's true...there are different genotypes between human "races"... but why do we consider them to be different races?
Brown tabby cats have a different genotype than black cats. But we still consider them all to be the same race, don't we?
The fact that we classify small human genotype differences in "races", while we don't do the same for other animal species, proves that race is a f*cking social construct.

And if you are stupid, self centred moron with racist attitudes and narrow minded views dont try and pass for anything but that.
If you ask these sort of questions dont try and pass for a person of any intellect.
The world,s a big place and its made up of all sorts of people from all backgrounds, even trailer park people like yourself who provide the light entertainment , wake up to yourself!

When are we all going to get this straight? People are people and we are all created equal. It does not matter what lineage someone claims. Notice that God never said Let us make man in our image and make him white. He does not say let us create man in our image and make him black. He created all of us from Adam and Eve. I know our God knew what he was doing and he created us all beautiful and each one of us is unique no matter the color.
Genesis 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
1 John 4:7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for[c] our sins. 11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
