I do think it's a bit silly that one guy, who's ancestry is from Palestine, goes under the "white" category. That seems a bit misleading, to me. He looks hispanic, he even SAYS he knows he looks hispanic, in reality he's from Palestine (his blood is, anyways) and yet....WHITE. Huh? | ||

I don't like how some pics were taken with flash so it makes them have lighter skin. Either way, I would still have failed to choose correctly. Some of them are just 100% misleading... unfair test imo.

That isn't to say people lie about their race, but the clarification gets fuzzy if you are of mixed race/insecure. | ||

No way those Black people were black and vice versa.. race is determined by color AND facial features, color being the stronger factor of indication. Thus, a clearly black man or woman is by definition a racially black man or woman. They might have a smaller nose than most blacks, or some other features, but it still makes em black.. Just as whites are whites, and asian people have very characteristic eyes and different skin. Just like native americans look different too, but are clearly indian. It's those common trademarks that should determin race. This test was fkin stupid  Was weird tho.... the asian looking guy with black skin.. wtf? I would still call him asian tho, mainly because of the eyes. | ||

It's just facts, that most black people have bigger noses, darker skin, asians got special eyes and lighter, more toned skin whites, espepcially scandinavians, alot have blond hair, blue eyes.. green eyes.. etc red heads mexicans and latinos, hispianic got darker skin, but not as dark as blacks, and they got usually smaller bones, but not as small as asians. Sort of a mixture, It's just normal traits of their race.. so what ? | ||

That is not what it was intended to mean (as stupid as the concept of race might seem to many people). How do you even measure how predominantly someone looks a certain race? It's completely subjective. | ||

Among others, I've always found the "asian", "african american", "caucasian" and "latino" designations hilarious. Asia has almost 4 billion people, with absolutely no common ethnical or cultural background, not even in a particular country. Assuming someone is african just because he is black is rather arrogant as well. Latinos don't speak latin, hispanics aren't from hispania, caucasians aren't from the caucasus, whites aren't 0xffffff white. | ||
