Im technically 25-30% white so me having a mixed kid with an average American white women will result in a 35% black kid. Last, Obama is probably the best example of a 50/50 person.

I dunno, man. Why do some people deny the Holocaust is a real thing that happened?

Are they?

Actually, lately I've been thinking how it might make more sense to consider what genes actually get represented. I'm only 15% Spaniard by blood, but all my features came out Spanish.

People get weird about it.

Tarantino had Alexandre Dumas called black in Django Unchained (he was 1/4 black and 3/4 white)

Then look at Bruce Lee, bullied for his white heritage in Hong Kong, to come to the US and be looked at as solely Chinese.

I think people tend to focus on differences more than similarities.

Maybe because it's easier to keep up with or something? I dunno I've never really heard anyone refer to mixed people by what percentage is what.

Only instance I can think of is the Japanese term 'hapa', as in, "halfa". Response to it ranges from minor offense to being considered a racial slur.
