First, its a good idea to set up an account with Photobucket, Snapfish, Shutterbug, or Imageshack. There may be others, but those are some I am familiar with. Put your pictures there. You can size them down to fit on a post here. Once you have your pcitures there, there should be directions on how to post them here. Good luck!

Ok thanks guys. Here are the pictures. Notice how the faces which are more intermediate appear to be disproportionately "european". This is the "white-shift" effect, as I call it.

In my opinion, the faces all the way down to 2/3rd white are actually acceptable as white. This comes from my personal experience, and people I have known with similar features have been accepted as white, without question. This process is continuing, by the way, from what I can tell of general sociological trends.

Anyway, the black models do have some admixture, I think. I couldnt get any really really "negro" looking ones. The white models on the other hand also have clearly less than hyper-"nordic" features. In this case, I think it works out pretty evenly so the results are fairly unbiased.

There are plenty of South Europeans who fall into the 2/3 White phenotype of the models. You know the ambiguous South Euro types who get asked if they are Mexican or Arab for example. A friend of mine who is Brazilian but who's ancestors come from Napoli was asked a couple of times if she was Mexican when she visited Texas a few yeas ago by both Anglos and Blacks probably because of the combination of her heavy foreign accent and swarthy complexion. Many Texans probably think all people in Texas who speak English with a heavy accent and have a swarthy complexion who do not look East Asian must be Mexican. But in New York where the locals are more used to the Mediterranean look she got more accurate responses from New Yorker and many correctly guessed her to be of Italian descent and or Brazilian nationality. She was also asked if she was Jewish or Greek.

As soon as I saw the first I'm I thought of actress Lisa Gaye Hamilton

http://www.serieslive.com/img/acteurs/lisa_gay_hamilton.jpg

The reason I'm posting this is because Lisa is 'mixed' generational (I don't now what extent) She has a full blooded sister that looks like the girl that is 1/2 1/2 or 2/3

The hair you see in this picture of Lisa is her natural hair, she has natural curly hair. And the picture of the 'black' girl reminded me of someone(Lis) who is 'mixed'

I love presenting people like her, especially people who "most definately get the (she just looks black, America will see her as black) response"
People who are in fact mixed but because they are dark skinned and or have features that don't look (other) get tarbrushed.

My cousin has horror stories of people black/mixed needing proof that her hair really is naturally that long and wavy. People who feel they have the right to just put their hands in her hair to feel it.

I don't have a picture of her, but Kenya Moore is almost her twin, same coplexion same hair, my cousin has a cleft chin though with is dominant on her fathers side of the family her kids have it as well

Kenya Moore is another because of her darker complexion, people will assume she has a weave or a perm. That is her natural hair as well.

Kenya Moore is beautiful. She looks exactly like one of my cousins whom is part Mexican and Native American. Complexion and all.
