EPTIt's just a descriptory tool used to rapidly identify the many complex variables of facial/skin tone structure so you can communicate it more efficiently.

Talk about reaching as far as possible to get the result you want. basically this pick 20 of the most ambiguous looking people, go out of your way to find people who have certain traits that make them look like another ethnicity to prove a point. i am 100% sure they put the guy who resembles morgan freeman just to trick most people. i mean i get it, but it's really irritating. | ||

Just finished the test it's quite obvious the people were chosen specifically because they don't look typical for their race. + Show Spoiler + One of the people the test says is black has blue eyes, this is a trait I've never seen. One of the quotes from another person says that people always mistake their race. One of the women has clearly had plastic surgery. One of the guys in the latino section says he is portugese (that is not latino) One of the people in hispanic has pale skin, blue eyes and in the ancestory it says "puerto rican, irish and english" This test is really garbage. I'd be willing to bet a dna test would put most of these people in different categories. If you think about it, all native Americans descended from Asians and were then isolated from all other races until Columbus. Portugal and Spain are known for being a melting pot of Arab (because Arabs ruled Spain for 200 years) and African who mixed in after the ending of slavery. Most of the people who identify themselves as latino can be almost any mix of Caucasian, Spanish, native American, and Portuguese. That is essentially what gave rise to the Latino race, was Spanish, European, and Portuguese mixing with native Americans. I suspected this test was a setup when I first posted after taking the test and then clicking on the people and seeing that most of them are actually mixed, but identify as whatever makes them a minority I am sure now that my original suspicion was correct. This test is a joke. + Show Spoiler + See a problem with their classification vs actual ancestry? ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/U0jBR.png) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/XVvvV.png) ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/X2YPE.png) So Palestinian = white?? All this test proves is that the census has a really poor classification system. | ||
