Get Your **** Straight: ODLH's "Race"

[vB Martin]

blah blah blah

3) Mexican is NOT a race. It is an ethnic group. Its part of the Latino race, you moron.

blah blah blah

Latino is not a race, either. Latinos are a sub-classification of the Caucasoid race, based on culture rather than significant difference of genetic characterstics.

we can classify three broad racial types in the modern world. Caucasoids. 1,000 million people with variable skin colour; white-dark brown. Hair variable, never woolly, body hair often thick. Lips tend to be thin. Three subdivisions exist, the Nordic, the Mediterranean and the Alpine.
The Nordic group are often tall, blonde and narrow headed - Scandinavia, Baltic, Germany, France, Britain The Mediterranean group (Southern France, Spain, Italy and oddly, Wales Egyptians, Semites, Persians, Afghans and some Indians. Lighter in body build, dark and narrow headed. The Alpine group extends from the Mediterranean to Asia. Broad headed, square jaws, olive skin, brown hair.
Mongoloids Most numerous of the present day populations, split into three groups

• The Eastern Siberians, Eskimos and the Northern American Indians
• The Japanese, Koreans, Chinese
• The Indonesians and Malays

Negroids 100 million from Africa south of the Sahara and Melanesians of the S Pacific.

Some also classify Australiod as a race, though because of the small population they are often ignored.

Race is based on a science called Craniofacial Anthropometry, which is mainly used in forensic anthropology. It classifies humans by common characterstics of the skull, such as thickness and roundness of eye sockets, amongst many other things.

So, before you call someone a moron, make sure you have your facts straight lest you find yourself pissing into a strong wind.

All that aside, I can see where Mexicans, culturally speaking, might not consider DLH to be one of their own. He seems very "white".

What I'm about to say may come as a surprise to many of you. The original man is the black man.

This has actually come under dispute in the past few years. There were holes in the migratory theory that could not be explained, and recent discoveries might point to a seperate evolutionary path for asians, though there is a long way to go in proving this.

I'm just happy that someone finally made a thread about it .

You kids are ****ing brain-dead. I was in shock today when I read a post by some idiot who said-and I quote, “ODLH is not Mexican, and he never will be”. I couldn’t believe it at first, but after I finished clearing my eyes, I realized that that ****-sucker was actually being serious.

Y’all don’t know the difference between race, nationality, and ethnicity so I’m a brake it down for ya; make it sound real simple for ya. (By the way, it is kind of sad that/if you don’t know this already)

1) Oscar IS Mexican. What the **** else would he be you dumb ****. American is NOT a race.

2) I repeat, being born in a different country from your parents doesn't mean that transform into another race, ****head.

3) Mexican is NOT a race. It is an ethnic group. Its part of the Latino race, you moron.

4) Oscar is a United States citizen; that doesn't mean he is white and not Mexican because he wasn't born in Mexico.

5) Just to give you an example; Selma Hayek is NOT Mexican. She was born in Mexico, but she is NOT Mexican. Her father is Spanish (Spain) and her mother is Lebanese. Therefore she is half Spanish, Lebanese. She is a Mexican citizen. That is her nationality, not race.

People like David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, and Tito Trinidad are of the Latino race. Not Black, not Puerto-Rican, not Dominican. Their heritage is African. They were born in their respected countries (PR, DR) but it doesn’t mean that their race is Puerto Rican, Dominican, or Even African (black). They are Afro-Latinos.

Believe me when I say this, there are TONS more white/fair-skinned Puerto-Ricans and Dominicans then there are Black. The Black ones are usually the poorest, so they come to the United States in droves looking for a better life and more opportunity. That is the main reason you see a lot of Afro-Latinos in the United States.

The Latino race is very rich and colorful, and the mainstream has A LOT to learn about us. Just because you see a lot of Afro-Ricans doesn’t mean that every Puerto-Rican has black in them. There are more Afro-Mexicans in Mexico alone then there are Afro-Ricans period. It’s not even close.

Class dismissed.

So what you're saying is that 80% of America's most successful boxers aren't actually Americans, they're Africans? So America has had virtually zero success in boxing?

Also, Oscar ISN'T a Mexican... no self-respecting Mexican would take a dive against Hopkins like that. Right, Amigos?

Very good post!!!! I saw that post yesterday as well and thought it was really ignorant and I thought about replying,but I decide not to waste my time with that idiot. It just goes to show how ignorant people can be. My parents are from Mexico, and I was born in Texas, does that make my ethnicity not Mexican because I wasn't born in Mexico?

[SnoopySmurf]

You guys need to tell this to Fernando Vargas.
