[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Narmer Menes: [qb] Thats what really annoys me about the some of the ignorance that passes for scholarship in this group. 90% of the time people post pictures of when they have NO knowledge about the origin's of the people whose pictures they post. They just type a 'keyword' into google images and look for the phenotype that supports their argument. It can't be taken seriously as they have not even had a conversation with the subject so have no idea where the hell they come from or where come from migration-wise, culturally. The other 10% are posts like this that jump to ill-thought erroneous conclusions based on the 1 phenotype that supports their argument: As much as I DON'T agree with the assertion that straight hair comes from European admixture, I equally DO NOT agree with the assertion that ALL mixed race people end up looking phenotypically like 'Kid' or 'Barrack' Obama! I have mixed race friends who end up looking Indian, some that look White and others that look completely Black. My son is constantly mistaken for an Ethiopian, and myself and his mother are BOTH of West African stock. On that note, not too much of a conclusion should be drawn from that us being from Nigeria, as my Wife's father immigrated to Nigeria from Senegal and my family possibly from Northern Nigerian border only 2 generations ago! But if I was tested genetically, no one would collect this information. If you found my picture on Google under 'Nigerian' you would not have ANY of this information. Mixed race people do not share a single convenient phenotype, many have straight hair, others wavy, others kinky, some are dark, others pale, others brown. In the same way, a google image is TOTALLY useless without supporting literature and anthropological data to enable one to build a picture of the subject illustrated. [QUOTE]Originally posted by MindoverMatter718: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] Most blacks I know who have white blood STILL have tight curly hair. I know of NONE that have straight hair due to a white ancestor. Look at Barak Obama, look at any other number of mixed populations and YOU WONT see straight hair as a result of white blood. [/qb][/QUOTE]Take an example from the light bright and almost white Christopher "Kid" Reid from "Kid and play" surely with Marc's reasoning he should have straighter hair being that he is Jamaican on his fathers side and Irish on his mothers... Marc why is "Kids" hair tightly curled being that he is a first generation offspring of one white parent and one black? [IMG]http://theconcretejournal.com/2/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/kidnplay.jpg[/IMG] But to Marc, Christopher "Kid" Reid is more black than the following aborigine because "Kids" hair is tightly curled and the aborigines isn't meanwhile Kid has white blood and the aborigine doesn't...go figure!! [IMG]http://www.agmates.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/australia-aborigines-460.jpg[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]Actually, that google image does prove the point and so do you. Like you said, it takes more than eyeballing images on the net to make a general statement about the mixing of genes in populations. HENCE the idea that aborigines somehow have straight hair due to white blood when aborigines with almost NO white blood have this feature, is ridiculous. [/QB][/QUOTE]
