Why do some black people claim obviously mixed people as black?

Who are these people suppose to be other than some supposedly Igbo people you grabbed off Google? You've never met these people and as far as we know they could be biracials from the Caribbean being misattributed. But we definitely know the backgrounds of the celebrities I posted.

so if they don't fit your standard of African they can't really be African:mjpls:Chicken George you don't know me or whom met:stopitslime:Being as I found most of these photos on Nigerian or Igbo forums,instagram or threads related to Igbo on human anthropology sites and most of the people posted have Igbo names or wearing traditional clothing attire i think it's fair to say they are more than likely Igbo:aicmon:but don't take my word for it just right lick on the photo in question and search google for image:sas2:

What are they supposed to claim them as? Have you ever seen a "mixed" checkbox on an application for anything?

i still see no proof of Tischa Campbell, Micheal Ealy, Terrence Howard and Vanessa Williams types being common in Igboland
you see what you wanna and the fact Igbos don't bat an eye at the Igbo people with similar phenotype as the AA celeberitesi you refrenced are Igbo speaks for itself:yeshrug:

I have no clue the genetic makeup of the people you posted....plenty of admixed Igbos but what I do know is that dude is a rarity and not the norm in Igboland. On the other hand, those phentoypes are fairly common in America. I don't have to do much Google searching to find them, meanwhile you scour the internet for hours trying to find random pictures.
