Well, to be fair, the reason black people can't trace their ancestry back to Africa is because most of them can't trace their ancestry anywhere once they hit 1800. They did come from Africa originally, whether it was directly, or by way of Barbados or Haiti. Of course, white people are originally from Africa, too.

Well, I'd say that if your family roots have been here since the 1800s, and no one in the family is actively visiting the home country or keeping the old-world traditions alive here, then you're officially all American, and not an African American/Asian American/Irish-American, whatever.

Good point Coro. I think I'll start listing my 'race' as "African American".

There should be a "MIND YOUR **** BUSINESS" option for race.

You can't because your predecessors' skin mutated a few genes away from darkness.

Spectator. Or, NASCAR would be a good answer too.
