    And what of one of my sisters who looks completely white? Does she then become 'logically' white, while her own brother who looks typically half black half white is black? I think that puts this confusion into perspective in terms of how ridiculous it is. My true genetic makeup can't be determined by outward appearance.

    Phenotypes and whatever genetic terms you feel like bringing up don't trump the fact that one parent is of one race, and the other a different race. Pretty straightforward. If you want to speak of cultural ideas around appearance fine, but don't give me this science, Mr geneticist.

    White and Asian are more closely related than Black and White, the difference in appearance of a White/Asian is far less noticeable. Here's a Genetic Map that's shows distance genetically between ethnic/racial groups

    How do you identify yourself on official documents? Have you ever declaired yourself Black to receive any preferrential benefits through Government quotas/programs or lending practices?

    Yes, thanks! I have a solid grasp on this concept. I thought most did until I read through this abortion of a thread, that I cannot seem to leave for whatever reason.

    The only thing I've ever had to declare my background on was the Canadian census form, and mixed race is an option. Come again.

    None of that justifies claiming ggg as white. I'm sure normal people search up these genetic maps to determine these things though :nut

    Did you just make those GIFs up? :rofl No credibility at all. Tell me Pacroid looks more white than black. You're high.

    I know you do.. but I figured it would be a good reason to post these maps I found in my favorites for everybody else to see, this thread and a lot of the posters on it are mind numbingly irritating

    Pacquiau is Filipino and obviously has native aboriginal Negrito blood in his system, Filipino are an amalgamation of Chinese, Spanish and Indigenous Negrito which is black.
    The maps are from an Italian geneticist Luigi Luca Cavalli Sforza if you want to know, and I would venture to guess he knows more than you.

    I've seen black people who, if they had white skin, would look white. Asians, not so much, it terms of features .

    We are doomed as a species. :dead

    It's 3 hrs later where you are and I am done at this point. Think I will start drinking and listen to some weirdo talk about ghosts on the radio.

    I don't pretend to be an expert on this matter like you moron. My field is computer science. And back on topic. GGG is Asian despite how you want to paint it.

    Yeah, because anyone without an odd obsession with race and differentiation is some how dooming the species.

    I've actually have studied this **** for almost 15 years, so I am an expert to a certain extent far more than many others on this forum, its hard to sum up all of the knowledge one possesses on a subject in bite size posts on a boxing forum, but an get obnoxiously detailed if I want to, but I don't care what you assholes think that much, in fact I'm not even sure why I'm arguing with you now.
    GGG is White and Asian he's both, but happens to look white, so whites find it easier to claim him, and since he lives in Germany with his white wife evidently he prefers to be white as well.

    He prefers to be white because he lives in Germany and has a white gf? My god, you're a moron.

    I suppose black guys prefer to be white when dating white women, or deciding to move to england from the US for example. You're a clown.
