“Too many users here tend to turn light races who are fully/part black. ”
Sentences like that, do not make sense, it’s improper syntax and most likely missing key words. What the sentence states is nonsense. Please try to proof read your comments before you post them.
You ramble too much to be comprehensible. I believe you’re trying to explain something but I don’t have the time to infuse coherence to your thoughts.
Thanks for trying, I just ask you to find a more accurate translation and/or try to be more concise. I’m not trying to attack or insult you, but I really struggle to comprehend you and I believe others do as well. We mostly understand your general meaning, but honestly you’re difficult to understand with the amount of detail I think you try to put into your posts.
I mean I and others here dislike your points of views, and you really mess up the recent comment feed, but w/e I can’t stop you, the users can’t stop you, and I can tell no one will change your mind. But please try to be more direct.
I did pick up one thing however. You keep saying I and other users here try to Nordicize people, that’s an inaccurate characterization. I don’t do that and I don’t know who you’re referring to. Maybe you should quit that.
Thanks for the more direct version. I don’t agree, but at least that makes sense.
Do you speak/write in English, or do you have to use a text translator? Because some of that is still a little garbled.
It’s nice to know you’re not totally deranged. I’m sorry you’re so dedicated to trying to prove your point of views in such a hostile manner, and that you feel being rude and mean is the best way to get your points across.
You seem like you really care about trying to educate people about your world view on ethnicity and I guess what would be consider genetic genealogy with emphasis on gene flow from ancient sources. But you go about it so aggressively you just come off as a rage/hate filled person.
You know, people aren’t trying to actively deceive you or the world about their ethnic origins. The public figures profiled on this site didn’t make their own profiles. Dozens of not hundreds of amateur genealogists have searched many sources and have gone back as far as they can to map the origins the people profiled. This site isn’t truly about genetics. It’s about genealogy. They are adjacent realms of study, but they’re not exactly alike.
Why do you repeatedly claim that I classify people by racial class, or that I claim to be a “pro”? I don’t do that.
You do state opinion. There are people on this planet that have no recent East Asian ancestry that have hooded eyes, and even some people with monolids that also do not have recent East Asian ancestry. Not every person on the planet with big lips or big/wide noses are part black.
You state many opinions that you exclaim are facts. You are no better than anyone else.

If you are so proud of being mixed, calling you Latino or hispanic is whitewashing you. Your white heritage is what makes you Latina and hispanic. Only in USA you would be the hispanic girl. In Latin America nobody would tell you that. Because that “hispanic look” is an American invention. In Latín America, people is very diverse. Also, that look that makes people saying that you are hispanic and different to the white girl are not hispanic at all. First of all, Spaniards are hispanic, so saying that all hispanics are mixed is wrong.
Yes, Spaniards are Mediterraneans but like other Mediterraneans aren’t all dark-featured. There are some Spanish with ginger and blonde hair, just like there are some Italians with that colouring. In the northern regions of these countries, it’s not unusual to find fair-haired people.
Who you’ve met and have seen doesn’t mean anything, there’s millions of others you haven’t met.
Spaniards are most certainly a mix among western europeans. they’re not a mix like 50/50 but they have traces of other stuff from invasions more than most of the rest of Western Europe. Not sure what you’re getting at with the other stuff.
