[Smeagol]

Nope, mulatto.

[gregorius]

black

[SilverKnight]

If he's bellow the 45% European, then black, otherwise tri-racial mulatto , he looks between 45%-55% European with heave Amerindian influence.

"White" and "black" are based on appearance, not genes. If you look black, you're black.

[Sikeliot]

I'd say his smallest component is European.

[SilverKnight]

I go by both genes and looks. In his case since I don' know the genes I'll go for looks, he looks very tri-racial, so I will say hybroid in my standard chart, not black, possibly black-mulatto ( as oppose to white- mulatto)

Mulatto is mulatto, stop trying to further complicate things just so as to make it so you can identify with being white. That's why you do all this BS.

Looks are deceiving, I seen many Dominicans that look similar to him coming out with 35-45% European, if he was lighter then it might change opinions.

Again doesn't matter. No one in their right mind would call him white, but people whiter looking than him like Mariah Carey get called black.

Like I said..

Black mulatto
hybroid (obama)
white mulatto (me)
white quadroon to octoroon (acevedo ricky)


and so forth

[Alenka]

No, I think he doesn't look like the USA blacks (AAs), rather looks obviously mixed race.
What would you estimate his components are in %?

[amerinese]

If I was sharing genomes with him on 23andMe or chatting with him on anthroforums, I'd call him mixed.

In the real world I live in, he's black.

You're mulatto. You only invented this stupid "white-mulatto" term so you can identify more with white. You're mulatto, which is any combination between 40-60% of white and black.

[Smeagol]

I consider people black if they're 7/8 black, or more. Otherwise, they're mixed, some type of mulatto.

I didn't invented it, logic did. white- Mulatto just basically means a mulatto with pred. white genes... Obama is a textbook mulattoid/ hybroid .

[Kastrioti1443]

Uber black

[Neanderthal]

Black.

[amerinese]

In a part of the US with no Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, etc. this dude would just be another black guy with a "Choctaw grandmother", or maybe a "Blaxican" or "Blasian" in California. You see lighter and more atypical looking specimens than him, always identifying as "black".

[Stormer99]

Yes he is a mixed black.

[Max Power]

He's a black triracial.

That's dumb, you're a mulatto stop splitting hairs. At "best" you could pass as terceron.

[SilverKnight]

He's a black triracial.



I blatantly disagree, so let me call it dumb


Correction.

[Roy]

Mixed Black with Amerindian and Caucasoid.

[Max Power]

Correction.

I get it, when someone disagrees with your asinine opinions you change the quoted text and avoid legitimate replies. It doesn't change the fact that you're a mulatto and look it and have to live with it.

[SilverKnight]

Mixed Black with Amerindian and Caucasoid.


Correct.

[Gaston]

No, he doesn't look like the "blacks" I'm used too. MGM-mixed is a nice term for people like him.

[Mechanolater]

Ella y yo-oid. Seriously though, no. Most o' the whites and blacks here would know he was most likely a Hispanic mulatto. That's just because we have plenty of 'em, though. In other parts of the states I'm sure he'd be considered black.

[YeshAtid]

Negroid

[aherne]

Mulatto with slightly more Negroid.
