"Multiracial Brazilians make up 42.6% of Brazil's population, 79.782 million people, and they live in all regions of Brazil. Multiracial Brazilians are mainly people of mixed European, African and Amerindian ancestry."
no offense but you sound like you got some identity issues dude. this might upset you, but you're probably a little bit white yourself.
"the average Black American is 20% European"

You laughed at me like a ****** and then made a list with a golfer, soccer player, basketball player and a sprinter.
Are they badass tough mofos? No, they aren't, you're a moron and you got owned.

Originally posted by Hannibal Barca View PostOk, you're really trying to hard. Seriously, if you wish to delve into technicalities and swim through facts and percentages that prove nothing, then be my guest. Regardless of whatever you post, Pele is and will remain Afro-Brazilian, and I'll remain African American. We're all well aware of the fact that hardly anyone on this planet has blood composed purely of a single race of people, that's a given. It doesn't change anything.
the same goes for white people, 30 percent of self identified white americans are more than 10 percent non white.
argue with the facts all you like if they bother you that much, but you're right, it doesn't change anything. racial allegiances are a joke cuz you never know what you got in the woodpile.

I'm not arguing against the facts, I don't care about the facts either way. They're irrelevant.

Originally posted by Hannibal Barca View PostFacts and percentages are meaningless in reference to the topic at hand. While there's a possible chance I maybe 10-20% white, it doesn't change the fact that I will always and forever be classified as an African American. When you're asked to fill out the little bubble, classifying yourself with whichever ethnic groups that are listed, they don't ask "Are you an African American who's 20% white, or an hispanic person who's 15% African?". It's meaningless.

i'm starting to think you're trolling me

Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension. I clearly stated facts and statistics pertaining to what we're talking about are irrelevant. No ones cares, no one asks, no one tells. Most people aren't even aware of their exact percentages of their genetic makeup.
Troll you; are you serious?

Yes. Remember Floyd mentioning that people say he trains like he is still poor? Poverty is a powerful motivator. Many boxers (no matter ethnic origin) are from poor backgrounds.

if an athlete looks black but turns out to be half white, then it'd be false to say he's a black athlete. he's just as much white as he is black.
did you know ali is 1/8th irish? or henry armstrong was more than half indian? or that andre ward is half white?
