[quote name='RBM']Surprising amount of confusion over what should have been a very straight-forward poll. Perhaps we should have simplified things for our simple minds and just made the choices pigment-based. That way people wouldn't have to wonder which category their ancestry landed them in. Could've been a straightforward litmus test by shade. Then, we would've had people asking their friends: "Hey, Buford, would you say I'm mauve or olive?" "Richy, would you say I'm the same shade of pink as your gums? ...c'mere and let's compare forearms..."[/quote]
lol! Then you would have had people with large tattoos saying "well, I'm 85% white, but 7% green, 5% purple, 1% black, and 2% orange."
