I'm off white. I used to be a nice light brown when I lived in Florida, but since I live in the mountains and it is winter I can honestly say that I am kinda alabaster.
Caucasians are referred to as white, but I have yet to see a truly white person. Even albinos are sort of pink, but not quite white.
Originally posted by Brother EdwinI love the narrow thought of your statements statements. For a start, not every mixed race person refers to themselves as black. Especially if they are part hispanic, part oriental or part sub-saharan (etc).
Mixed race people refer to themselves as black.
Half of them is the same as me.
Therefore I am half black, ie mixed race.
And since mixed race people refer to themselves as black I must be black.
These days you don't even just get 'black' or 'white' on ethnic origin forms - you get 'black african', 'black carinean', 'white african'... even 'white irish'. I suspect that you were being over simplistic in order to be facetious, but if not I'll have to put it down to you simply being overly simple 😉
I could however be facetious myself and draw hope that you meant that, if we go beyond such labels, we are all the same 🙂

**** NO THE HALF THAT IS THE SAME AS YOU IS THE STUPID HALF ****
WITH YOUR OWN HALF , THAT MAKES YOU COMPLETELY STUPID
