Talk:African-Americans

I'm not of African descent. I'm sure of that because my family came from Central Europe berfore Second World War as refugees from Hitler and there were no people of African descent there at the time. In the large UK city where I live people sometimes think I'm being pedantic when I insist on filling in questions about my race as, "Mixed race, of Jewish descent". In Nazi Geremany I would have been called a Mischling and I would have faced legal discrimination as well as prejudice. Being mixed isn't bad. On the contrary favourable mutations that happen in one population can spread to the whole of humanity when people choose sexual partners without regard to race.
