The 2017 Coli census, are AA's really a minority on this board?

[K.O.N.Y]

nikka I'm black American what the fukk nikka.

black american doesnt equal AA

 

[K.O.N.Y]

@Nigerianwonder is AA?

Nobody read OP it seems.

 

[GodinDaFlesh]

My parents are African immigrants. I feel like I'm neither African nor AA.

 

[K.O.N.Y]

Like I said, it depends on the aim of the poll. I made a very specific definition of who can be considered an AA for a good reason. Of course there are still some grey areas.

That Jamaican breh clearly does not fall within that definition though. Should've chose "Caribbean". I shouldn't have to spell it out, breh. It's not my fault if some people can't use common sense.

"Other" is a catch-all group for all non-African descent ppl.

Come on now, theres a reason why theres so much confusion in the first place

For the coli you absolutely need to spell it out

Yall keeping acting like ethnicity is cold hard science that is formulaic and unchanging. Sorry buts it not.

Of course the broad distinctions are clear but there are many gray areas no matter how hard you try to wish them away.

Whats the difference between @1thouwow honest perception of himself and someone like Marcus Garvey? What about Louis Farrakhan? His parents were from Jamaica and St.Kitts.

They probably voted without even reading the conditions.

Those grey areas will persist no matter how many subdivisions you make.

@badtguy and @Dip already hit me with a couple that most people wouldn't even consider.

This is not a scientific study. These broad groups will do

What about Malcom X and WEB Dubois

Malcolm X had one parent from the islands, his mother. He's still AA.
