Brits believe mixed-race people are the 'most attractive and successful'.

What's weird about the Indigenous category?... They're people too.

Everyone is indigenous to somewhere.

Firstly don't patronise me I am not talking about skin colour or specific features here. I am talking about a look something I have not yet put my finger on but it is a look. Just like there being an difference in the look of a white French person to a white English person. You recognise it but cannot say for definite what the difference is.

Um, there are loads of Caribbean people who look very much like Africans. I don't know where you got the idea that we look that different. I'm of Afro-Caribbean decent, if you were to trace back a few generations, there'd be Africans, Indians, Scots, Spanish people, and Indigenous Americans... But I'm black.. And I look African, because that was quite far back, my hair, features and body shape are African.. and there's nothing wrong with that... The majority of Afro-Caribbean people I know do look African.

Ok we'll agree to disagree but when you come back to England sit on the bus and try and guess who is african and who is caribbean.
No animosity just thought you were trying to make me out as not knowing what I am talking about when I wouldn't have commented if I didn't.

since when was alexandra burke mixed race

ERRRMM A lot of the time people from the Caribbean look different from those form Africa. This is due to people from the Caribbean being mixed up over time (during slavery) and also because many were from the same Tribes when captured before slavery.

Obviously most people from the West Indies 'look black'! It's common sense that there will be some differences in African and Caribbean looks after 100s of years apart, as there are cultural differences. Also the environment in which we live in and food that we eat, has an affect on our genetic make up.

I am from the Caribbean so I do know what I'm talking about. If you look at a group of my black friends you can see the difference; just as you can with many British and Eastern European people. They're both White yet look different due to numerous factors. Or Indians from India and the Caribbean.

Oh dear, more "brown skin is superior" propaganda. To be perfectly honest I think this is as racist as saying white skin is the most attractive and successful.

As I said to aprilterri we'll agree to disagree. Yes there was a little mixture years and years back (I'm talking about Afr-Caribbean people here) but my black friends (not the mixed ones) for the most part, look similar to Africans, as do I. There are also lots of 'unmixed' people in the Caribbean (I've put the in inverted commas because we're all mixed, even those who would be considered purely one race). The food we eat does not affect our genetic make-up, it can however, affect phenotype. For the most part, we look the same, in about 400 years, there will probably be much more observable differences.

Oh dear, more "brown skin is superior" propaganda. To be perfectly honest I think this is as racist as saying white skin is the most attractive and successful.

I do not mean mixed as in mixed race, but mixed in the past. Even the mixing of two tribes creates a different look. It has been scientifically proven that people's environment and diet DO affect their genetic make up.
We do all look black with black features but many African's have distinctive features which are not seen on MOST Caribbean people.
I am not trying to distance ourselves from Africa's, but outline the clear difference that I along with many others, have observed.

But yes, we'll have to agree to disagree.

that picture is from about 2 and a half years ago so stfu, also incase you hadn't noticed the topic isn't about me. thanks.

Since when did mixed race refer solely to people with brown skin?

I'm not really attracted to mixed race people as much as white, they could easily pass for black most of the time though so i can't tell

Lol, by mixed race I don't think they're refering to half British half French somehow.
