you can't prove race exists
Has been proven. Some people are just stubborn and think x is needed to prove race exists, when x isn't necessarily race.

Yeah, I know. Race does exist though, I live in a real world. You just don't get what I'm saying, do you? Race does exist. African American is not a race but an ethnicity. Negro is a race.

Please clarify yourself. Are you saying that 30% of the white race is already mixed with another race or are you saying that ALL white Americans are 30% mixed. Either way, you are wrong about those statistics.

"African-Americans" as a group in the USA are only about 70% African derived is what he's saying.
Odd that almost 1/3 of "African-Americans" isn't even African.
What a stupid title.

False. NOT 1/3 of African Americans. Just because African Americans have 30% caucasian ancestry DOES NOT MEAN that 1/3 of all African Americans are not from Africa. That is a pretty stupid comment.

It means 30% of the genetic makeup is caucasian that is all.

There are a lot of white African Americans. The girl across the street went to South Africa, met a guy, got married and came back to the US. He became a citizen. He's white, as are many in So. Africa. He IS an African American
thats nationality

Funny how ppl keep confusing race nationality and ethnicity all over the place.

Wished that old race forum FAQ was still posted so people would figure it out.

I worded it very carefully, Jake.

"almost 1/3 of "African-Americans" isn't even African."

I did not say "1/3 of "African Americans" aren't even African"

"African" isn't a race, ethnicity, or nationality.
But it is closer to nationality.
