Why do most identify as African American or Black if not African American?

First question - not exactly. I knew a girl in high school that everyone just assumed was white. She had very European features, she hung out with all the white kids, she never mentioned anything that would make you think she was anything other than white, although I don't know what she actually would have chosen on a form. We were all shocked when we met her father, who was AA, very dark-skinned at that. So you never can tell.

Second question - Are you saying that biracial people are not African-American? Because I would just disagree with that assertion. People with one half, one quarter, or even less percentage of African heritage have been considered African-American in this country for centuries. So while i might choose to identify myself as biracial, there would be nothing innaccurate in me identifying myself as African-American.

Ha! It sounds like you could have been talking about me. I identify white not AA and haven't had any issues so far, I don't think there is any one way you have to do it.

Second question - What I mean is the group of Black people that are not AA. Some people are Black but not African American, for instance West Indians and people from various islands. They are considered Black but not AA. So a biracial person with a Black non-African American parent.

I don't know - maybe for whatever reason that a black person who is not AA will still identify themselves as AA. Honestly, I've never understood the term AA to exclude people of West Indian descent or even people of African descent, but I'm no expert on the technical definition of the term. My father is one of those AAs with West Indian parents - he is first generation American. But he has never identified himself as anything other than black/AA.

Do you wear dreadlocks, African garb (a la Lisa Monet) to try to "prove" your blackness?
Are you bourgeois?
Are you married? If so, what is your husband's race? If not married, what race are you more attracted to?
Do you have more white or black friends?

I'm married, but I tended to date within my race. Would have been open to dating outside my race.
