Why do people get so offended and sent into a frenzy when you say you can tell the difference between ADOS/FBA and Africans based off of looks?

[Mowgli]

Let an African American go to any random African nation like hi, im "Add country"

They're gonna a ask 4 questions

Where you from
Where you stay
Where your grandma stay
What's your last name

I agree and understand. So, it's OK to say Black Americans don't look like Africans, right?

How after what I've just said about diversity in Africa?

 

[skokiaan]

America is a continent. Black people around the content, are they ADOS/FBA? This is before we discuss socioeconomic inequalities etc

I mean his name was Osaka I'm sure it was a giveaway

I had no idea Idris Elba was not Af American and I'm from the UK like him, where we are used to seeing a more diverse mix of black people together

 

[I Really Mean It]

at a djimon hounsou-looking dude named osaka being an FBA.

foh.

You can't tell people what they can and can't be offended by

It would be offensive in either direction, in my opinion.

You can 100% tell no matter the skin color I don’t understand why this is controversial

Honestly it’s just Africans low self esteem showing

My wife geechie. The amount of Africans who stop her and keep asking her where is she REALLY from even after she says her Mom is SC and Pops from GA is hilarious.

My uncle who came over to stay with us almost broke into tears saying she looked like his grandma.

I will tell yall this, I go to Nigeria and see way too many of yall doppelgängers there.

Not really

Its actually more offensive when a good looking person is told 'wow u don't look African'

Like fool wtf does African look like/mean to you?
It can't be admixture because as mentioned in this thread, Africans have been mixing amongst eachother and non Africans for thousands of years, not just hundreds

Being told I dont look African after disclosing it always is always met by me saying “how is an African supposed to look like?” The silence I meet.

Been hearing shyt my entire life. Its annoying as fukk.

You can tell that African Americans in particular have a heavy Igbo presence. The chick in my avi is an Igbo gal I used to smash. They look so much like folk from here

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

What a stupid thread.

What does African look like?

Compared to which Africans (the most genetically diverse people on the planet) do you look different from?

Put the phone down. Go outside and play in the yard underneath the sun nikka.

Stop rage farming.

Most of us Igbo relatives were taken to Virginia and Jamaica , can't talk for the rest of America or other Islands
