if you are 1/4 white and 3/4 black-does that make you mixedraced?

Question

and vice versa

according to wiki pedia-i am mixed raced

oh, and karel, how is this embarassing? its called wondering - why are people who are quarter black called mixed race but people who are a quarter white called black-it dont make sense

Answer 1

That makes you one of the blackest persons in the United States.

Answer 2

technially yes. But for practical purposes no. because you wont be treated as mixed race, you will look an be treated Black.

edit: there is no 20 percent white in me. Maybe 2 percent if any at all. Im skeptical of admixture test. They say there is no gene for race, then they turnaround and say you are 20% white.

Answer 3

No.The averge black person (in the U.S.) is 20% white. In reality theres no such thing as "mixed race" because everyone is mixed to a certain degree.

EDIT: Seetheworld your wrong..80% of contemporary African Americans are 20% white. My sources are below..It ranges from a low of 10% in the South to 50% in the north but it averages to 20%. Pretty much all other studies have come the same conclusion.

Answer 4

Yes it does because you are 2 races

Answer 5

No it does not make you mixed......get real........what's up with these questions........don't tell me you're having an identity crisis.............it always black people talking baout this......very embarassing

Answer 6

Answer 7

Yes. We all are mixed in some way or the other.

Answer 8

Yep, anytime fractions come into play.............

Answer 9
