Foreign Affairs / Head of Diversity for US Diplomacy say that Brazil is too white by Tmerz: 11:48am On Jan 11, 2022 |
It's hard for the US to go around giving diversity lessons to the rest of the world because they too have a lot of homework to do. So says Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, 64, who took over in April the newly created head of Diversity and Inclusion at the US State Department in the Joe Biden administration. During her visit to São Paulo, the diplomat did not run into many black people like her. "I noticed that most of the people I saw were white. And knowing that the population is close to 50%-50% [among blacks and whites], I asked myself, 'Where is everyone else?'." Abercrombie-Winstanley once defined the State Department as "pale, male and Yale" — one of the American elite's favorite universities. Although the game is changing, there is more ground to cover, she says. "We are not where we should be."

Culture / Re: Why Do African Americans Generally Have Lighter Skin Tone Than Africans? by Tmerz: 2:49pm On Jan 27, 2021 |
Genetics. African Americans origins come from slavery. White Americans did alot of rapings in those times like most Europeans in that time involved with slavery so most African Americans have alot of white heritage. The majority of African Americans are dark. Many of these celebrities have white parents. Only African Americans who are descendant of mulattos who have European ancestry in their bloodline are pale. Like Rihanna |
