[QUOTE="Radrook, post: 69972403, member: 385077"] The European HW boxer Tyson Fury is a good example of what you are referring to since he is culturally a gypsy. Looks 100 Caucasian though as do all of his Gypsy relatives. About how it is in the USA, I have been living here for all my long life and my experience has been that USA AAs and whites are culturally prone to seriously consider ethnicity when categorizing someone as white or not. For example, most AAs consider only Nordic type Europeans as truly white and view southern and Eastern Europeans as mixed ignoring the fact that there are millions of Northern European looking persons in all areas of Europe. They also tend to mindlessly classify all Hispanics as mixed even though there are millions of Hispanics of European unmixed descent-especially in such countries as Costa Rica, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and Southern Brazil. There are also millions of unmixed Native American Hispanics, especially in such countries as Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador as well as millions of unmixed black Hispanics specially in such countries as The Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Brazil. Yet in the average American mind they are all mixed. So I guess our perception of how USA Americans view race differs considerably. [/QUOTE]
