If thats true, why are white Americans allowed to get away with not being classified as mixed race but American blacks are not? Leading question. You identify as a black man, yourself. What neighborhood did you grow up in? Gimmee your streets and we can talk if you want I was born and raised in the Delta, the richest area in the entire US.

Nobody is keeping you US Blacks today from identifying as mixed-race. Why not do it? Nobody is keeping people who call themselves Black from calling themselves anything they want to be called

So eufrenio, all US citizens are mixed race people right? No, but possibly 50 % of Americans have some recent admixture. Most non-whites and a third of Whites.

That is, or at least was, a World Heritage region if there ever was one. Where in the Delta? Bayou Criole? Who are your people?

Bayou Criole? Who are your people? I live near Vicksburg,and I have family in Yazoo also. i wouldn't call myself a Creole, just a regular collar green, baked macaroni and cheese and chitlin eating black American. My mother maybe creole or have some Creole ancestry but she hasn't ever said it so i take it she doesn't have any.

You understood pretty well! My point is, an admixture which ocurred 2 or 3, or even 4 centuries ago is recent to me.

I wasn't adressing you when i said that, but that other person named annienormanna. Furthermore, if recent to you is within the last 300-400 years, how can you call Ethiopians mixed race when their mixture was well over 2000-2500 years ago?

I'm a country, yes I am and I'm proud of it unlike those undisciplined city slickers.

You have a point there, maybe Ethiopians are their own race. But some do show recent admixture.
