Answer 2

There is no objective answer to that. In America, generally speaking, a person has to look like they could be completely white to be (possibly) considered white according to society. Then issues of fractions and what the other race(s) is/are... it seems like it takes less black blood to be considered nonwhite than it is for Native American or Asian blood. Also who the parents were and what environment they grew up in factors into perception.

Race is perception and most if not all people are mixed with some other race if you go back through their family tree long enough.

Answer 3

In America, it matters very little to most of us. We have lots of dark skin girls who marry white guys and vise versa.

I think your question is best answered by taking a look at Ebony magazine. The portrail of colored in that magazine is so much slighted towards the white side of genetics. The pictures of models in there have thin lips, skin color is golden, and their hair is straight and wavy.

You, of course know, that there is no such a thing in America as a "Black Africano" The so called Blacks here are a mix of White genes and black genes . So an American Black can claim and celebrate their white as well as their black heritage. Something too many here do not recognize as the fact.

Answer 4

My three kids are all mixed ...I am white the oldest two are half Asian and my baby is half black. They told me at the hospital when we were doing the birth certicates that the darker race is what they are.

Answer 5

Never. I have friends who look completely white but claim to be balck because one of their parents were black. They grew up in black neighborhoods, went to black catholic schools and are proud of their black upbringing. They do not even claim the racist white blood that makes them look white.
