Maybe it's just that I'm so progressive but I don't see your race/ethnicity as having anything to do with your heritage, but more a way to simply describe a person. Like if someone asked me if they remember their friend George and I was like "who?" they might say "the asian guy who was talking to me at the store."

It'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.

Pretty hilarious test. 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.

This is a horrible test, the different lighting in each picture, and 8-bit quality pixels makes it 10x harder than it should be. It's as if they were trying to make people think they couldn't really tell.

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.

See a problem with their classification vs actual ancestry?

So Palestinian = white??


All this test proves is that the census has a really poor classification system.

not 2 bad, it was pretty tough. it said 1 white woman was hispanic and another was black and i jsut laughed.

sure call yourself wat you want but when your skin is that white and your hair is that color your not black.

i'm terrible O_o, only got 5 right. but isn't it disingenuous to give us ONLY photos of only head shots, give us ONLY 5 generic group types, then throw in a ton of mix raced people who they KNEW would throw us off and then say " See, you're bad".

I got 8 right, but it is stupid considering most are mixed race, if not all. I mean how can that woman who is half german and clearly white, class her self as black?

Stupid, stupid test. Not only was it damn obvious that most of them were mixed race people, they made the pictures way too small AND pixelated. If they actually wanted to make a point, theyd have made the test fair.

They purposely chose people of certain races that didn't look like that race / looked like they were another race.... so I don't see how this really proves anything.

i knew that palestinian guy was white. too easy knowing how US categorization works. i figured they threw in an indo-aryan guy to be tricky. Yes people from that region are white. So technically that indian girl can be white too really if she associates herself as bening part of aryan orgin. its all a big mess. Didnt even consider him looking like a mexican because of my pre conceived idea of test being tricky, but i suppose its possible.

the real silly part imo was asking me to distinguish who are latinos from whites and american indians. Okay so heres a ethnic group originated from.... among many, WHITES and AMERICAN INDIANS and you expect me to know just from looking? lol.
