Isn't it hard to tell whether a person is of a certain race?

Post by WorldExplorer921 »

Im having a hard time figuring out who people are and what their heritage is these days. Some it's easy for them but for me not so much....question does this girl look black or indian right here? They say she's a light skinned black woman, but I think they have an error here. She clearly looks indian, from India. Not to be confused with native Americans.

I think she is Indian. I had an interview with a dark skinned cute Indian girl the other day. Her accent gave her away. Today in the USA there is so much mixing, that it is almost impossible to tell. My last girlfriend was Asian and she couldn't tell what country other Asians were from, so for white foreigner it is almost impossible. Good luck! :D

To the OP, why is this so important to you? If you are a real man, you will not evade this question.

No it doesn't matter but All I was saying she looks indian and the article all I was saying we're identifying her as a black woman...its very odd to see a black girl look like that. That's why I was confused. They say blacks come in all shades so maybe it is true.

You need to free your mind. You have been raised in the Anglosphere. Stop being a mental midget. You depreciate the value of real expats whom want to branch out, contribute, and improve lives worldwide. Your screen name isn't so deserving; being a world traveler would lead you to travel to places outside of the tourist districts.Mind you, when I was homeless and jobless, I relegated myself to being a mental midget like you. I had to quit that c.rap.

No I don't live in a anglosphere and I never will! I'm african american actually...but all I was saying that with blacks it's hard to tell who's black and who's not with our race. Whether their biracial,mixed with black or whatever. Some black people look like other races seriously.

It shouldn't matter. If she has nice curves..nice hairy snatch...nice aestetics...f.uck the race and/or nationality #punintended
If you are worried about mixed/bi-racial with at least some Black/African blood, then you are encouraging White supremacy by proxy by saying that mixed-race people are the only good looking Black people. That's a smack to the face of your ancestors; some of them were beautiful too, guy.

It's hard for you to tell a certain race if you aren't accustomed to them and you haven't traveled enough. If you are then it becomes easier. To whites, all Asians look the same. But not to Asians. But seasoned expats in Asia like Rock can tell Asians apart cause he's used to them.

But we are talking about homogenous races here. Mixed races are of course harder to tell.

This woman is Indian, from India. This is not a black woman.

About race, it is not always so easy if you see only a picture (in this case even this picture shows only the upper part).

For example Mongolians, Japanese and Koreans are very similar. Also Filipinos and Indonesians are often similar. Or Thai people and Lao people.
It is not so easy to know who is Italian and who is from France if you cannot speak with them, but see only their pictures on the internet. etc. etc.

How good are you at telling what country an Asian is from? I think I can spot Russians but that is about it.

I can distinguish between Chinese, Japanese and Korean most of the time just on looks alone. Most Asians can I think. But not as well between Filipino, Thai and Indonesian. If I hear them speak though, then I can better tell.

Do you think that, occasionally, some Chinese do look Japanese and vice-versa? I think it happens sometimes.
Let's get together and feel alright.
