people confuse: nationality, ethnicity, and race all the time
and i can confirm, being mixed race confuses everyone
i though ethnicity and race are the same thing
if not basicly the same
Nationality is a concept which is mostly what country’s citizen you are. Race is your skin color, and ethnicity is the extension of race. It’s your culture?
I think? Correct me if I’m wrong
oh yea what about mixed race people
i mean race has like 4 categories normally and ethnicity is a wide list but nationality is just the country you're from
race is not skin
i am mixed, i did dna test
looks mean nothing
I wish I did DNA test
😢
it's fun
I wanna see my ancestry
i think the argument is just with the amount of travel in the world, race is really hard to even define
ethnicity can go based of historically accurate genetic markers based on regions in world
going back to early civilization
like you can track celtic groups and african tribal groups
but most people are a mix of those anyhow
well the africans sold each other and at the time so
You can actually tell who’s who by a series of factors.
dna is fascinating but looks can and are deceiving
also if they didn't sell blacks than I doubt it would be as big as it was
or they could find someone else
because certain human characteristics like eye and hair and skin color (the main ones) have many different genes that control expression
and when you mix "races" they can vary an awful lot
people also confuse the origin of genetic variations
yea I can barely tell who's even half white on a lot of people
blue eyes are not exclusively European as an island of black people actually had their own blue eyed variation pop up
that and blonde hair there
very cool
oh I heard of that place
it is a cool look into big misconceptions on appearances in human genetics
Melanesians, that's the group
Idk if I got all things right on them, but that is the group I was referring to
I like his attitude but how does he know there's more black racism?
i mean, i do have to say it seems that the US has more "in your face" racism than other countries
