people confuse: nationality, ethnicity, and race all the time

2021-01-11 18:08:51 UTC  

and i can confirm, being mixed race confuses everyone

2021-01-11 18:09:02 UTC  

i though ethnicity and race are the same thing

2021-01-11 18:09:07 UTC  

if not basicly the same

2021-01-11 18:09:26 UTC  

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?

2021-01-11 18:09:29 UTC  

I think? Correct me if I’m wrong

2021-01-11 18:09:36 UTC  

oh yea what about mixed race people

2021-01-11 18:09:44 UTC  

i mean race has like 4 categories normally and ethnicity is a wide list but nationality is just the country you're from

2021-01-11 18:09:53 UTC  

race is not skin

2021-01-11 18:10:00 UTC  

i am mixed, i did dna test

2021-01-11 18:10:03 UTC  

looks mean nothing

2021-01-11 18:10:10 UTC  

I wish I did DNA test

2021-01-11 18:10:13 UTC  

😢

2021-01-11 18:10:13 UTC  

it's fun

2021-01-11 18:10:20 UTC  

I wanna see my ancestry

2021-01-11 18:10:52 UTC  

i think the argument is just with the amount of travel in the world, race is really hard to even define

2021-01-11 18:11:11 UTC  

ethnicity can go based of historically accurate genetic markers based on regions in world

2021-01-11 18:11:26 UTC  

going back to early civilization

2021-01-11 18:11:46 UTC  

like you can track celtic groups and african tribal groups

2021-01-11 18:11:53 UTC  

but most people are a mix of those anyhow

2021-01-11 18:11:56 UTC  

by now especially

well the africans sold each other and at the time so

2021-01-11 18:12:42 UTC  

You can actually tell who’s who by a series of factors.

2021-01-11 18:13:08 UTC  

dna is fascinating but looks can and are deceiving

2021-01-11 18:13:23 UTC  

also if they didn't sell blacks than I doubt it would be as big as it was

2021-01-11 18:13:28 UTC  

or they could find someone else

2021-01-11 18:14:01 UTC  

because certain human characteristics like eye and hair and skin color (the main ones) have many different genes that control expression

2021-01-11 18:14:15 UTC  

and when you mix "races" they can vary an awful lot

2021-01-11 18:14:33 UTC  

people also confuse the origin of genetic variations

2021-01-11 18:14:37 UTC  

yea I can barely tell who's even half white on a lot of people

2021-01-11 18:15:07 UTC  

blue eyes are not exclusively European as an island of black people actually had their own blue eyed variation pop up

2021-01-11 18:15:13 UTC  

that and blonde hair there

2021-01-11 18:15:15 UTC  

very cool

2021-01-11 18:15:20 UTC  

oh I heard of that place

2021-01-11 18:15:47 UTC  

it is a cool look into big misconceptions on appearances in human genetics

2021-01-11 18:16:16 UTC  

Melanesians, that's the group

Idk if I got all things right on them, but that is the group I was referring to

2021-01-11 18:17:19 UTC  

I like his attitude but how does he know there's more black racism?

2021-01-11 18:17:44 UTC  

i mean, i do have to say it seems that the US has more "in your face" racism than other countries
