Wouldn't Aframs who look overwhelmingly European be seen as mixed by the general population, rather than fully Afram? As I would assume that recently mixed Americans with their phenotype are more numerous.

Depends on which Afram community. In areas where heavily mixed looking Aframs are uncommon, they would be seen as "Mixed", but in areas where heavily mixed Aframs are more common, they would be just be seen as a "Light Skinned" Afram, or "Creole".

Where I live. Half Afram biracials just blend into the general Afram population. They don't really stick out from the mainstream over here. But in somewhere like the Northeast, pred Euro biracials would be seen as "Dominican", "Puerto Rican", or "Biracial" rather than Afram.
