    i consider some latins such as italians & portuguese to be either light brown skinned(some call it olive) with a close resemblance to hispanics for eg.mexicans. Like some of the italians i grew up with. Meanwhile others look just white. To me the ones who look just white tend to have irish or english etc somewhere in their blood. I love the latins with the dark strong features.

    thats true. some Italians especially from the North of Italy look very pale skinned. But the Italians from the South can look as dark as Arabs.

    i think that, just like italians, save for the ones you described that are from Northern Italy, the arabs and people from the middle east tend to be described as people that have a Mediterranean features. Don’t quote me.

    Er, Jamaican is not an ethnicity. Most Jamaicans are of African descent, but many are a mixture of other races. Just what kind of Jamaican is Alicia Keys?

    Yes there is a thing called ‘afro-jamaican’ jamaica doesnt have 1 race in it, you have chinese,indian,pakistani,syrian,Lebanese,German,spanish,british.

    So black people are considered ‘afro-jamaican’ in jamaica.

    She’s black and white. Italians, like americans have different textures. Northern Italians have Central Europen features(pale skin, etc)..Southern Italians have Mediteranean features(tan skin, darker hair). Europeans are different shades, but are all Caucasian. In the world, there are Three Races, Caucasoid, Mongloids, and Negroids. The confusing part is all the mixing that has taken place throughout history. They each have different features.

    To bad boy.inc
    my father is Jamaican too :)
    He’s half indian[fathers side 100%]
    and his grandfather is also European.
    but his grandmother is Afro-Jamaican [mothers side 50/50]
    I just thought that was cool that we had that in common =]
    there are many different races of people in Jamaican.

    Yes, I think they call people like us Mulattoes. I was born in Jamaica. My grandmother (God rest her soul) had indian and black in her. My mother had Jewish and black in her as well as Indian genes from my grandmother. My dad’s side is mainly black (Has direct Maroon heritage from Africa-thats the Africans in Jamaica where the English couldn’t control so they had their own society) but he’s light skinned and I believe he has some other roots. If you’re Jamaican, it really means you’re not directly from Africa unless you’re a full bread Maroon with very dark skin and it means you have genes from all over the world. I think our pot is more melted that anyone else if you figure the historical nature of Jamaican immigrants.

    Italians are just like Spaniards – -they are white up north and Mediterranean down south with olive skin. Does anyone agree with me?

    Italians are white in the sense of Caucasian however many are tanned, though the parts that don’t see much sunlight can be much paler than Northern Europeans… nonetheless Northern Europeans can be as tanned as most Southern Italians and vice versa. Or is someone who happens to be slightly swarthy suddenly not white?

    White generally means Caucasian anyway which includes groups that can be as dark as Sub-Saharan Africans (for instance southern Indians).

    True,she should have shown some respect and told him to step.But now a day how many people do that.To tell the truth,she better watch him,because if he can up and leave a family,watch out.

    I mean black men in general.Over the past 40yrs,babies daddies have given us a bad reputation.Here’s an example,I have a baby brother who’s 4.He’s in school now,and when I was on on break from school,he asked me to come up there with him.While I was there,the teacher seeing how attentive I was to him,asked me if I was black.Now I’m thinking it’s because of the way we look,but she thought because I took such good care of him,I was Samoan.Now I asked her why Samoan,her reply was because our black men don’t do that.Now this was a black woman talking to me,and I didn’t know how to take that

    its quite unfortunate to hear a story like that. But who knows maybe she went through a bad experience and now has a negative opinion.
