Would you think these people are black?

[DCal430]

Just wanted wanted to see who would think these are blacks (African Decent).

 

[Schmide]

Prob more related to Australian Aboriginals looks Pacific Islander?

The Jai Alai shirt kind of gives it away.

Definitely not aboriginals. Could be islanders.

I'd say PNG.

Papuan from Sioubri village.

Black? Yes.
African? Not determined by appearance.

(but, if you ran genetic testing, odds are, yes, somewhere in the ancestry)

 

[DCal430]

Someone on another forum was saying most Americans if they saw these people would assume they were african american. Wanted to see how true that was.

 

[Craig234]

I hate to get into this topic, but if I saw them on the street, I'd assume, yes, African American; seeing the photos, I think 'black, but not clearly African'.

 

[OBLAMA2009]

who would say those arent blacks?

Given where we think the genesis of life began, wouldn't it be correct to say everyone is African in ancestry?

Black is a color, not an ancestry and yes these guys are "black" in the sense of darker skin than caucasians. This isn't even up for the debate.

Is now the part where you try your gotcha?

 

[Rakehellion]

Oh look, another race thread.

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

WTF would think they aren't?
They have the physical traits of blacks - dark skin, big nose, frizzy hair.

 

[purbeast0]

those people are black. black is a skin color and they are black. just like a lot of dominicans are black.

no clue where they come from though based on the pictures.

 

[Insomniator]

The father is with a child so I don't think they could be black.

Oh no you didn't!

I'm with my son 😀

 

[dabuddha]

Oh look, another race thread.

Black is not a race, it's a color

 

[MaxPayne63]

If I saw them walking around in Syndney I would think they are Australian African Americans.

Wait, what?

 

[TwiceOver]

Yes. But I have no idea what country they are from.

 

[Rakehellion]

If you have to find a semantic loophole to weasel your way out of being racist, then you're especially racist.

 

[waggy]

Oh no you didn't!

I'm with my son 😀

LOl you look like a nerd. but your son is cute! 😀

 

[BoberFett]

Here's another fun fact: Most "African-Americans" have never lived in Africa. Crazy but true!

 

[Tweak155]

Oh look, another race thread.

Where?!?

 

[kinev]

Oh no you didn't!

I'm with my son 😀

Just stopping by to say that I saw this picture on pics.bbzzdd and came here to find the thread so I could say:

that's adorable!

:biggrin:

Not sure what difference it makes. They're clearly black. If I saw them, I'd puzzle over what kind of black they are, but I do that with everyone, of every color. Unfortunately, it's not polite to ask strangers what they are, so I have to piece it together from known published samples.
