(1)You can be dark-skinned and be mixed. (2) You can also be light-skinned and not be able to trace back to you "european" roots. (3) What's your view? |

Actually, that is a good point: You can also be light-skinned and not be able to trace back to you "european" roots. |

Its because people have bought into the idea that for someone to be light skin they need to have some sort of Caucasian ancestry. There was a study conducted in Brasil about the ancestry of the Brasilian people and they found out that a lot of the people that prided themselves on being white had a lot of African ancestry while a some of people who called themselves black had little African ancestry. |
