My picks are way more accurate than the US classifications imho.

Most of those persons are completely mixed but its just stupid to classify a guy from Palestine with a clear arabian apperance as white and the brunette with blue eyes as black.

Whoever made this test should get another hobby/job.

This test was really lame. A ton of these people are mixed race and separating Asian from Native American is retarded, seeing as Native Americans are descended from Mongoloids.

One of the people I put in Black is supposed to be white, but then her info says she's mixed white and N. African. So... I wasn't wrong. It was the US Census that defaults her to white.

I put the Filipino/Irish guy in white. Well... that was his Irish half I was putting him into, seeing as he was far more Euro than he was Asian. Kind of ridiculous that he's classified as Asian considering Filipinos are already Spanish/Negroid/Mongoloid mix, then further injection of Euro with the Irish heritage. His genetics aren't anywhere close to Asian dominant.

The English/E. Indian girl I put in white. Obv, that's her English half I'm seeing. Yet, she goes in Asian? LOL

The only two that I totally missed were the two black girls who have "some" euro ancestry. It sounds more to me like they have a ton of white ancestors in their background, they just weren't legitimate marriages so they call themselves African despite heavy euro genetics.

17 right, but only because I figured they were trying to cherrypick examples of mixed people that would throw someone just going by looks off, so I guess that's metagaming it or something. Still, you can't tell me that some of the black people in their example are 50% or more, and hispanics can look like any of the groups mentioned, really. The "fullsize" photos from clicking on the images still are extremely small and don't really help.


Yea I got 15 right as well, but again only because I assumed they were going for something tricky.
Way too low resolution for a proper test, however I like the idea, hammers a point across. The idea that we even have these tests and include these statistics in national surveys etc. is terrible though


Well the fact is that most people do fall clearly within a White/Black/Latino/Native American/Asian category, enough so that it is still useful for statistical purposes.

Race is a social construct.... Yeah, I'm gonna believe that one...

No matter what some random "face test" or geneticist tries to convince me, I'm not quite ready to throw away my common sense just yet. The reason scientists have been unable to determine distinct races based upon individual genes is because races are not determined by individual genes. Anyone who looks at race as more of a statistical probability finds much more evidence that confirms what we've already long believed.

But this is the course science often takes. We deny something based on faulty data, political correctness, and cultural sensitivity, and it's only a matter of time before it is all proven wrong. I remember back when the psychologists and sociologists tried to convince us that male and female brains are identical, and society makes up all the difference.

Yeah, I loled at that one too.

OP needs to edit his OP

That said, I still got stuff wrong even when looking at the bigger pictures.

I can understand there being contension, because there are different concentrations of certain race per person, and when it comes to american indian (stupid term) and latino, how do you distinguish between them? they are both natives of America(s), some are just more northern than others.

What's stupid is how there's no Indian or middle-eastern category, which is probably what that black/latino (what most of you would have categorized him as instead of the white which he is classified as) guy was.

It's also crazy/incomprehensible-to-me how that dude with the really short curly hair is considered latino and not black. I guess this is due to him maybe being ~50% latino origin.

There were some other pretty incredible things too, more-so tricks in my opinion.

Having Indian people in the same classification as East Asians does seem pretty stupid. Are Russians in that category too? :o

Self-identification seems like a stupid system in general.

lol .. Those guys have like racial mixing. That's cheating!

Not gonna say it isn't fair, but it did throw me off. I know a bit about how facial features (Not simply color, eyes, hair, etc.) can tell you a person's ethnicity, and I only got like 8 right.

A couple of people really threw me off.

P.S. The Native American/Asian thing is what I mean when I say that I got confused. They're very similar, so with mix-raced people being up against eachother, it's very difficult to distinguish. I couldn't (I only got like 1 Native American correct).

My English might be lacking, but isn't it supposed to be "Mongolian"? Or are you saying that most Asians have a chromosome to many?

mongoloid, caucasian, negroid, etc, they are terms to describe racial attributes that develop among certain areas.

I got 16.

I wasn't looking at skin tone, I was looking at facial structure and facial features instead. Some were pretty easy to figure out.

I did have to guess a few though.
