We all know what a dark skinned Nigerian looks like.
And we all know what a blonde Swedish person looks like.
We know what a Chinese person looks like.
But what about people that do not fit in those 3 categories?
Mulatto/Middle Eastern/Latino/Mediterranean all look alike.
If a Mediterranean person and a Latino produced a boy, and a Middle Eastern person and a Mulatto produced a girl, and the boy and the girl had a baby, what race would the grandchild be?
Does the concept of "race" "national origin" and "ethnicity" even matter nowadays?
If a so-called "community leader" wanted to do something for the Black Community, would he have to separate people by dark skin vs light skin?
Do dark skinned Black people have to identify as Black?
Do blonde haired blue eyed White people have to identify as White?
Is it possible to view everybody the same ; human.
Or does it make more sense to classify people by religion ; Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Mason, Atheist, Agnostic, etc.
Or does the concept of "classifying people" not make sense?
Should we try to disregard a person's nationality, ethnicity, and religion and judge each individual person by their character and their deeds? If so, what are we going by, their criminal record, level of education and bank account?
I grew up in the suburbs amongst Jewish people (and Blacks and Whites). Jewish people don't consider themselves White, just like Muslims don't consider themselves Arabs.
So yeah, is there such thing as race, or is it in the eye of the beholder?
Also, if you had to report a crime to the police, how would you describe the person?
