[sumrndmdude]

How is MNR clearly not Hispanic though? His first name gives it away imo.
I'm black but within that community, I use to get mistaken for Haitian for some reason from Haitians (now if you live in BK that can be taken as an insult growing up but I was never that offended). I usually consider myself American but some catch the TnT roots.
Oh and cuz of my name ppl (who are aware) think I'm Nigerian.

kwame?

Damn just looking through this thread, takes me back to the last one like this or the PYP and posts were blowing my mind. So many NTers I would've swore were black were white and many I thought were white were Asian or something else I aint expect. Had to step back from NT, it was overwhelming.

And it happens again with illoquent aka DSK. I would've swore he was black. It been a minute so I probably already went through this revelation with him and just got my mind blown again cuz I forgot

That's because you're a middle eastern that speaks Spanish.

 

[picknroll24]

Full blooded Mexican but get white or half white, some fellow Latinos even when I speak Spanish

[RIP sleazyy]

hi, I'm black. theres a white woman somewhere down the line in my family, hence my light skin and white man hands.

people on the internets think I'm white, though. then they see the dreads and repeated use of the N word.

you have older sisters? 21-26??? PM me for details.

 

[b20 eg8]

I'm black/Spanish but everyone OTHER than black folks don't know what the hell I am.

I get white a lot.

Nobody ever guesses Spanish... And nobody ever guesses Black either.

I kind of like it though. For the most part it allows people to not jump to conclusions but it also exposes total racists right away.

Grew up in a Hispanic neighborhood and I guess that would be the majority of people I kick it with. There's always that friend of a friend that claims "I don't like black people" then my friend Informs them I'm black and them they refuse to believe I'm black which is quickly followed by "you're the only black person I get along with." I just give em the -___ -

Im Colombian but people think I'm middle eastern...

The Arab diaspora in Colombia refers to the Arab immigrants and their offspring in the Republic of Colombia. Most of the Middle Easterners came from Syria, Lebanon and Palestine escaping from the repression of the Ottoman Empire and financial hardships.[2]
Most of the Syrian-Lebanese established in the Caribbean Region of Colombia in the towns of Santa Marta, Lorica, Fundación, Aracataca, Ayapel, Calamar, Ciénaga, Cereté, Montería and Barranquilla near the basin of the Magdalena River. It later expanded to other cities and by 1945 there were Middle Easterners moving inland like Ocaña, Cúcuta, Barrancabermeja, Ibagué, Girardot, Honda, Tunja, Villavicencio, Pereira, Soatá, Neiva, Buga, Chaparral and Chinácota. The four major hubs of Middle Eastern population were present in Barranquilla, Cartagena, Bogotá and Cali. Most arrived as members of the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches, but the majority became Roman Catholic. The number of immigrants entering the country vary from 5,000 to 10,000 in 1945. Some of these immigrants were Christian-Lebanese and others were members of Islam.[2]

I mostly get Hispanic or Italian. I've gotten Middle-Eastern a couple times in college from White Southern People and Middle Eastern chicks.

I'm Portuguese/Spanish, not to be confused with Latino 9which so many people do).
