[QUOTE]Originally posted by Alive-(What Box): [QB] rofl @ "planet beatdown", but: Doug wrote [QUOTE] But the funny thing is I have even confused African features for white. One day, not too long ago, I was walking up to a group of black young adults in a parking lot and I coulda sworn there was a white girl in the middle of them. When I got closer I realized she was completely black African Ethiopian with so-called "white" features. I had to laugh at myself. [/QUOTE]It's not just Ethiopians - more and more I'm noticing certain features that seem to be more common in African Americans or as common in them compared to Euro/white Americans. And then, when I look at West Africans and see the same in them it suggests to me that these aren't 'white' or 'mixed' traits. These rather just go un noticed or less noticed as we mentally pass them off by [b]assuming[/b] "it's just an exception to a rule" and then ignoring it (that's the way bias works) because our learned racialised worldview engenders bias and [which is psychological]. There are many distinct looks I am noticing [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] When using the word Mediterranean we must remember and begin to emphasize the fact that Mediterranean does not exclude Africa. Extreme North Africa is the southern littoral of the Mediterranean Sea. Assuming Mediterranean to be only Italy and Greece is the Medicentrics' game. I refuse to play by their rules. There are too many Med types to use the word in any kind of homologous fashion. But since it's not going to be abandoned I will make the rules and define it to my purposes instead of being ruled and leting others set their definition for me to kowtow to. [/qb][/QUOTE]On point!! Greeks and other Mid Easterners do have Mediterranean features and ancestry from North Africans ya know. :cool: [/QB][/QUOTE]
