Yes there is They reject you if you have visible admixture. Its like "you're not black enough to hang with us". My grandmother is a light skinned black woman and they call her "white"

That's a first.... Never heard of a situation like that in my life...

[Mymnnarry]

I read people who were Castizos or less were used to be categorized as "criollo" (i.e white american) when they looked predominantly Iberian.

[numinertyuesk]

I think for both Asian and Latinos, after even the first generation, sometimes the second they are already considered white, depending on the person and appearance.

[Geetiill]

I am wondering, is there anything like "one drop rule" in eg African black societies?
All people are black, is someone who has eg10% white blood considered "not full black" or even white?

It exists in Sudan, mainly among the Arabic speakers.

There are many countries in Africa (like South Africa, Angola etc) where they separate mulattos from black. For example its very frequent in Angola to hear to stuff like this :


"I saw a very beautiful woman today..."

"How was she? Was she black?..."

"No, she was a 'latona (Mulatta)"


If Obama was running for president in an African country, it would be pratically impossible for him to win because he is mixed

If you mean Sub-Saharan countries, I believe some have specific phenotype descriptors (features, skin color, etc.) and some for mixed SSA/Non-SSA ancestry.
New World nations with a population of majority of pure or pred. SSA like Haiti for example do have words for mulattos and other groups not 100% SSA.

[Geetiill]

Is there a strong sentiment against people of partial African ancestry like Obama in Africa? In Haiti the revolutionaries targeted them too. In a rebellion which would take place in Brazil, they would be targeted as well, along with the slave owners.

Well if he came out of no where and tried to claim his father's lineage to run yeah he would lose...but if was well rooted in a big enough ethnic group he could win even if he's half white in some countries.

Sub-Saharan African countries have more of a reason to be racist against people of colonial European descent than Europeans have a reason to be biased against people of SSA descent.

Europe dominated their entire continent and treated the natives like shit. Sure, there were definite contributions but that's besides the point.

If I were a black African in Africa, I probably wouldn't want anyone of European ancestry running my country, either.

Still, most Europeans don't have a problem with someone of half(or less) non-white ancestry. Most just view them as ''one of them'', especially if they turn out white.

I guess you live in America? What's the prob btw? He was voted president. So he probably doesn't face that much discrimination

[eropiereetuekm]

There is a One Drop Rule called a "Blood Quantum" to be identified as a Native American for American Mestees/Half-Bloods in the US. Like this article right here.

Thats the psychotic garbage that is in part responsible for immigrantists 'blacks' being the biggest self pitying narcissitic mass murderers in society today and it is not based on ANYTHING but the NEED and delight that immigrantists get from that mass murder rape thieve-athon. Look at this Europe of yours. Until ninteen twenty people didnt even have the vote! When did the 'dumb blacks' get the vote? 1950's (until they fucked it up). OH! MY! GOD! 30 years of hell. Poor mass murderers! Thats so deserved! What about all the other people who didnt experience anything like the utter and total transformation out of absoloute darkness that 'blacks' got from an indentured servant using elite whose descendents that elite use the dumb 'blacks' and muzzies as tools against? They all went straight ahead and became what they were which was the best economies in the world. etc etc. You bring murder in your zionist slave garnering drivel and should be held accountable.

Well there are cultural differences between white americans and white hispanics that's true but I think white americans are culturally different to Spaniards,Italians,portugueses,greeks,russians,mol davians,Syrians,etc and still their descendants are counted as white americans in the census so...
and I think a white hispanic who's been born and raised in USA is much more culturally closer to white americans than a Swedish immigrant is to white americans Yeah I agree with this, but the Census Bureau isn't comparing Whites in America VS Whites in Europe, the purpose is to compare US citizens living in the United States. That's why they distinguish between White Hispanic Americans and Non-Hispanic White Americans (who are mostly multi-ethnic). It's done to keep track of immigration and demographics across various cities, states, and the overall country.

What! Are you that vicariously desperate? Slimy little cretin. Africans in Africa HAVE MORE reason to object to Euros than 'blacks 'n dat naw wat ah meen have than euros have to object to 'blacks n dat naw wat ah meen ? Get a friggin grip!!

But we have to forget the past and move on. Jesus said that we have to love each other, you claimed to be a very religious person, so I wonder why you're not following the teaching of JESUS CHRIST, your guru
