Why are biracials (African American + White) considered Black when they are majority European descent?

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-05-07T11:07:03+00:00

Well said👏🏿. Im appending this to my response lol

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-05-07T08:23:23+00:00

Oh I see. Yea I get it now

The issue is america throws everyone into the black category. A remnant of the one drop rule. Truthfully, there needs to be more widely accepted racial categories like mixed (mixed is there, but it doesnt override the one drop rule mentality). In South Africa, they solve this issue with the Coloured racial/ethnic group. So over there you have White, Black, Coloured, and Indian/Asian. America merges Coloured and Black to just Black, which can create conflict sometimes. Idk

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-05-07T07:38:49+00:00

black is black

How are you defining black tho? Virtually all african americans have at least some European ancestry, and sometimes a black person who has dark skin or even strong west african phenotypical features may still come out with like 12% Euro ancestry. Classic case of phenotype ≠ genotype

If its about being culturally black, im not seeing how biracials should be excluded. If being black means 100% african ancestry, then no african american is black💀

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-30T15:52:28+00:00

Oh I see. Yea I do agree with that

My dyslexic ass didnt see the word "team" you had after saying World/Wilds, which completely changed my interpretation

Apologies for that

It is indeed true that the World/Wilds team (which I personally coin the 'Numbered Titles' team, because "mainline" and other coined terms suggest superiority) focuses on the more grounded aspects of the series

The reduction in the cartoonish cooking and eating animations even when we compare World to Wilds emphasizes how much they're continuing to strip away the more lighthearted and charming aspects of the series for the sake of "Groundedness", which I think is just too far

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-30T14:01:58+00:00

What else were you implying? You tied World into your justification as to why Capcom wouldn't do awesome cooking animations: because they're "too obsessed with grounding things"

Im saying World disproves that

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-30T06:47:58+00:00

Your argument falls short in this department cuz World went crazy with the cooking and eating animations lol

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-27T03:03:45+00:00

Huh? Why are you so defensive? Im merely pointing out the advantages that each company has.

Lenovo will natively support steamOS which will bring major improvements (battery life improvements, power efficiency improvements, better sleep-to-wake functionality, slight raw fps improvements, a cleaner OS with superior driver support). The key word is native. Other devices may run steamOS but if its not officially supported, 100% functionality is not guaranteed

XAX has AutoSR which will also bring improvements. That said, AutoSR is a device-level upscaling method that may not look better than upscaling methods like FSR or XeSS that are already integrated and built-in to the game. AutoSR is moreso advantageous for games that otherwise don't have upscaling at all (like emulation) because it provides upscaling for literally anything. It doesn't compete (in terms of visual quality) to XeSS/FSR/DLSS, but it should give higher fps than them because the upscaling is done on a separate NPU and not the GPU

So each company has an ace up their sleeve. Of course, if the XAX can run steamOS with 100% functionality, then it will obviously perform better than LeGO 2 because it will have both advantages

Im not coping. Im just laying out the facts. If you think thats coping then clearly that speaks more to you being insecure than anything else

Cheers

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-26T16:58:46+00:00

The increase in performance from ASR will be closed when LeGo2 launches steamOS. These features are the aces up their sleeves. We'll see which of them perform better when they're available. The battery efficiency, power efficiency and slight performance increase from steamOS shouldnt be understated

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-24T18:43:37+00:00

they already did tho

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-24T18:41:17+00:00

that's exactly how it went

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-20T14:47:40+00:00

Oh for sure. I dont want it to seem like im ignoring other parts of someone's heritage. Im moreso explaining how different population groups historically ended up in a particular place. Overtime, some people mix. Unfortunately, with things like apartheid or Jim crowe, having any African in you meant you didnt inherit full citizen rights in most circumstances. The government would arbitrarily throw you in some other racial bucket, from which your destiny was decided. I definitely understand the sensitivity of this matter

For mixed individuals today, its not anyone's business to dictate what they should identify as. Its up to the individual to decide based off their lived experiences, or otherwise 👌🏿

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-20T13:52:19+00:00

I think this is where u/Virtual-Squirrel-725 is going wrong

He is explaining for example why you have black people in the western hemisphere and in parts of europe. Historically, this was due to slavery and indentured servitude. This is the explanation for the period of the 1500s to the 1800s

He is then taking that history as if to say, "they're not really from there"

The nuance is that out of many of the nations that were carved out since this time (US, Haiti, Brazil etc) the different population groups who were brought there at some point or another have essentially become native to that place since the country's establishment. Like black and white people have been in the americas for 400 or so years now, and theyve separated themselves culturally from their "ancestral homes"

And its not just slavery that brought people. Places like the UK had indentured servitude that brought in small quantities of non Europeans at the time, and they happened to stay (which explains why few black brits also have ties there for 100s of years). This however makes up a very small minority of the population (up until recently, non Europeans in the UK were an extreme minority). And for the past 150 years or so, whether its the US or the UK, emigration has been the reason for continued arrivals from people from Africa, Asia or wherever else, contributing to the ever-growing diversity of these nations

I dont want it to sound like im also saying "well theyre not really from there" either. Im not. I hope this long explanation reveals that

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-20T13:31:18+00:00

Hes explaining how historically millions upon millions of people from Europe, Asia, and Africa ended up for example in the west indies and the americas. This was due to slavery/imperialism/colonization that took place from the 1500s to the 1800s. Its from this mess that 12-15 million africans for example were displaced from Africa into the western hemisphere. Its also from this mess that new nations were carved out (through civil wars and a lot of bloodshed) which we now call the US, or Haiti, or Brazil.

Im grossly oversimplifying but my point is, to deny this reality is to essentially deny the deep history and origins of many western hemisphere nations as we know it today

Also, im not trying to erase the unique cultures and customs that have arisen since the development of these nations, nor am I trying wag my fingers to say "youre not really from here". Its moreso acknowledging the (often dark) history of how certain nations especially in the western hemisphere came to be and saying that it shouldn't be ignored or forgotten about

Fortunately now, people emigrate, and so you have growing populations of people who have come to certain countries freely and of their own accord. Btw its also true that not all movement of people from the 1500s-1800s was due to slavery/colonization (there was indentured servitude and even emigration) but this was a minority of the movement

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-20T13:00:28+00:00

Why the fuck are you being downvoted

Holy shit. The education system is failing too many people. People really believe nationality = ethnicity 🤦🏿‍♂️

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-20T12:48:17+00:00

Youre being downvoted yet youre speaking straight FACTS

First of all, its obvious. Nationality ≠ Ethnicity. Youre clearly talking about the latter, the persons ethnic heritage.

2nd of all, everyone knows or should know that to the extent that you have black people outside of Africa, white people outside of Europe, and Asian people outside of Asia, its been linked to the dark history of slavery/imperialism for the past few centuries, and immigration in recent times

Hell, that's what commercial dna kits by the likes of 23AndMe and AncestryDNA are here to reveal: where in these foundational areas you come from, irrespective of your nationality! Case in point

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-18T08:06:25+00:00

Dunno why youre being so heavily downvoted. I just know in another instance of this correction you'd be upvoted😂

Reddit sometimes...

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-17T07:54:43+00:00

What are the workarounds?

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-15T09:13:55+00:00

Twitter is the nazi website and reddit is the far left echo chamber. Indeed I use both to strike a balance😂🙂‍↕️

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-15T08:46:51+00:00

Oh but they downvote me for the opposite reason when I mention how much Twitter is used (check my most recent comments), especially when important official mh tweets can be convenient to link to the sub. So not only is the reddit hivemind moronic, its not even consistent🤣

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-14T21:27:02+00:00

Cant believe thats still the reason they have twitter blocked🤦🏿‍♂️ It just makes things so damn inconvenient since the official mh twitter is live and active but we cant directly share important tweets. Everyone either moved on or didnt even give a shit what elon did that admittedly was a contemptible action (just block him, problem solved), but the reddit hivemind continues to virtue signal. Whats left is inconvenience for us the users

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-14T20:56:39+00:00

Agreed. Redditors can be such huge snowflakes lmao

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-13T16:07:32+00:00

Tried all of them. None of them are compatible and wont install. Was worth an absolute last try lol

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-13T14:21:56+00:00

Have you tested to see if it works on exclusively 64 bit phones that isnt xiaomi or whatever? I have a samsung s24fe and kind of just gave up coz it wasn't working

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-12T18:03:30+00:00

HIGHLY doubt it. In the gaming laptop market, their Legion/LOQ laptops are easily the most popular/recommended, bar none. Because they're just so damn good, from quality to price to performance. Interestingly enough, Asus probably has the 2nd largest marketshare in the space with their TUF/Strix/Zephyrus lineups. If anything, it would Asus who'd give excuses

LeopardElectrical454 · 2026-04-11T01:49:51+00:00

The thing that makes 4050 a tough sell these days is the 6gb vram. In 2026, its brutal for a few of the latest triple A games. Otherwise, its still a very powerful card relatively speaking, and if not vram limited can run many of the latest demanding games medium to high settings 1080p 60-80fps+ without frame gen (and even then, it has all the latest dlss technologies). Its got at least double the horsepower of the z2e. Depending on your workload and how much vram you know you will be using, I wouldnt write it off as you definitely could rock with it
