Why? Your race is about as personal as your eye color.  Anyone can see it as soon as they look at you and it's neither good or bad.  Just is.[/quote]

NP here.  What is this, 1950?  You can't always tell someone's race by looking at them. Mybrother looks white but he's black. And so many people are of mixed races these days. [/quote]

If he looks white then what makes him black?  Serious question. What IS race in 2012 and what exactly does it mean, especially since the mixed-race population is growing fast.

You're an ass. I'm not the PP, but if she says her brother is black, why do you have to question why he looks white? What makes him black is that he probably identifies as black. Maybe he has two black parents or maybe just one is black.

If he has looks phenotypically white, perhaps he has a large white admixture, but racial identification is about a whole lot more than percentages. If it were just about percentages, lots of people would be kicked out of the "black" race and lots of people would be kicked out of the "white" race. Maybe you don't get that because you're a member of the dominant race in Western society.[/quote]
