It's time to set one thing straight. I am so sick of some Ethiopians claiming they are black when we are clearly not.

We Ethiopians are dark-skinned Caucasians.

QueenEthiopian & Ednite - There is nothing like a dark-skinned Caucasian. Please you guys should go and learn about racial classifications.

Don't just make up stuff.

Distribution of the races after the Pleistocene according to Carleton Coon.
* Caucasoid race
* Congoid race
* Capoid race
* Mongoloid race
* Australoid race

"The 1775 treatise "The Natural Varieties of Mankind", by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach proposed five major divisionMongoloid race, Ethiopian race (later termed Negroid, and not to be confused with the narrower Ethiopid race), American Indian race, and Malayan race, but he did not propose any hierarchy among the races."

An excerpt from wikipedia's article on racial classification - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_%28human_categorization%29

There is absolutely nothing like a dark skinned Caucasian - it does not exist!

Yea, Somalis and Ethiopians could say the are the Ethiopid subrace (also known as Aethiopid, Eastern Hamite or Erythriote - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopid_race)

BUT claiming you are dark-skinned Caucasian is a big joke.

Ethiopid Race has never been classified as being part of the Caucasoid race... I wonder where you guys got your dark-skinned Caucasian thing from?

If you say there is something like a "dark-skinned Caucasian" PLEASE supply us with factual proof from renowned Anthropologists of Biologists... or some sort of Scientific Journal that proves there is actually a race called "dark-skinned Caucasian".... what a joke!

Wow, I can't believe that you used the outdated and long debunked racial theories of the known racists Blumenbach and Carleton Coon to prove your point. By the way, according to Coon, Ethiopians and Somalians ARE Caucasoid; see for example this map: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carleton_S._Coon#/media/File:Carleton_Coon_races_after_Pleistocene.PNG. But all this is wrong; the modern anthropology tells us that the racial division of humanity based on external appearance, skin color etc. is only superficial, "skin deep" so to say, and that most human variation comes from within the races; variation (average genetic distance) between races is too small to matter. In other words, all contemporary humans belong to ONE race, and everything else is an optical illusion smiley

Re: Black/white? by Nobody: 2:28pm On Mar 11, 2016
Okay, go to any European country, USA or Canada and see whether Ethiopians and Somalians are classified as Caucasoid..

Please point me to a well renowned Anthropologist (or Biologist) paper/study/research that clear states that Ethiopians and Somalians belong to the Caucasoid race and not Ethiopid race.... that diagram is not enough proof for me... give me a peer approved or scientific journal or something of sort.

What I know of is:

Craniofacially Somalis resemble Nordic (particularly Norwegian) people more than any other ethnic group, recent research has shown that the average Somali is genetically only 15% Caucasian, which includes Arabs, North Africans, as well as Europeans.

The rest of the Somali genome consists of 5% Sub-Saharan African genes, and the remaining 80% consists of Cushitic genes. Cushitic people are found largely in the Somalia, Ethiopia, and Eritrea, which are the main countries which constitute the Horn of Africa"

I need scientific proof and not the usual Somalian trolls coming here to tell us that they are superior to the slaves Bantu, Negroid or Fufu people.... bla bla bla...

Give me the hard proof and I would believe... 2 or 3 scientific backings is enough.

TheTransformer,
Why don't you check out on Wikipedia- Caucasian race?
There are three kinds
Mongoloid as the "yellow race"
American "red race"

and Ethiopian "black race"

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? MEHN...... SERIOUSLY?!
