Hi, Clemcykul as far as these people being mix, i seriously doubt it, because most of the mulattos i have seen in Africa and other parts of the world don't display the same blondism like Melanesians or Aboringines from Australia. Therefore, i consider these people to be a distinct group altogether.

hello i dont mean being mixed in terms of being born due to inter -racial marriage with white, being mixed is this context means, there are different colors of skin and hair amongst this people making them peculiar and beautiful. . .the complexity of their nature is amazing.

for instance in some african countries ie Nigeria we are pure blacks with black hair,except for albinos and mulattoes. but this people comprise of different variety of skin colors and hair without any genetical link with whites. i dont know if i have made my point. smiley

Ok, i see your point, and i understand your meaning as well therefore you won't get a argument from me. As far as nigerian diversity, i don't know about that one, you do have people within northern nigerian quite different from the general population

for example these people in the borno region.

As far as Melanesians they are indeed a distinct group of lovely people.
question are you from South Africa?

EXACTLY. theres no chance of them being mixed. they have been isolated for centuries. These are pure-blooded tribals lyk many of us here in Nigeria, who belong to a tribe ofcourse.however,  they even hav preserved their ancient traditions, religion & lifestyle, unlike[i] many[/i] of us here. tongue sad

Ah, how come I have brownie to reddy hair(in the light) and people are always asking me "is it your real colour, na your real colour be dat, how come your eyebrow nor bi di same colour" but they never ask these people?

I don't like it ooo. .Maybe should just dye me eyebrows brownie red. .kekekeke

P.s. .Why do they assume straight I am wearing a wig when they see my curly afro hair, aye?
They will have to come shove their fingers up and down my hair to see if na my own or see whether they will find black hair in there. . Kekeke, and their heart breaks when they find out it is all mine. .

Well, they are not Asian Tpia! They consider themselves simply Melanesians, and being simply themselves according to their customs, lanuage and tribes. There are many of them on line with their own forums, and creating their own youtube videos, so i suggest you converse with them, you may learn a great deal from them, i know i have.

melanin+asian = black asian or melanasian.

having a darker skin colour doesnt make them[b] not [/b] asian.

some indians are darker than they are.

asian doesnt only mean chinese.

i get your point though and they probably would not like being called simply asian due to various reasons.
