Do you get mistaken for other nationalities????

African Americans are strongly Sub-Saharan African. Somalis share about 5% paternal admixture w/ Sub-Saharan Africa and about 15% Eurasian (i.e. East Europe, Near East, Balkans) paternal admixture, so that is why you will see East Africans rarely have negroid features, and why they will rarely even look black when mixed w/ white.



"A new study quantifies the extent of Eurasian (15%) and Sub-Saharan African (5%) paternal admixture in Somalis, a population which appears to be predominantly East African paternally. The authors also explain why the Somalis have low Sub-Saharan African admixture:"




"East Africans are more related to Eurasians than to other African populations"


"Cruciani et al reported that the E3b1-delta cluster was seen at low frequencies among all European populations that included E3b's - but their paper did not include a description of the E3b1-delta haplotype. The highest frequencies of E3b1-delta were seen in Ethiopia and Somalia, and that area is assumed to be its place of origin. The authors believe that the delta cluster may have been involved in the first dispersal of E3b1's out of eastern Africa about 15 thousand years ago. The E3b1-delta cluster was introduced into Europe in a later expansion from either northern Africa or the Near East. Members of that cluster were seen in such far flung places as Pakistan. Their paper did not give a description of the E3b1-delta haplotype."

So really you can't say Somalis have Caucasian features but rather the other way around

However, we are all the children of Adam/Hawa and humans are all brothers. It would be foolish to be racist against your own siblings.

Like Dan wrote its all in the genes and they can go either way.

Even though the mother in the picture Not considered mixed she still is African American which means she has at least 15% white genes. Thats probably explains why her children came out so fair. I wouldn't be surprised if the father of those kids is a very pale white guy Like swedish or something.

razzberry,

Yes, you're right. Personally, I prefer the 'mongrel nation' approach. Like MAD MAC said, we should all, shall we say, 'interact' until we're the same color.

There is a lot of benefit that comes out of mixing.

Do I get mistaken for another natio? not really. There is the occasional mistake for another east african country but what the heck that's the same sh.t basically!
