@revenant Would it matter if I painted face in coal seeing that I am actually partly black (dad) and I am from the Kabyle tribe? Grew up in Africa too and speak several African languages, and have a lot of the customs. 🤷‍♀️

The lines can be really hazy.

I can relate to the mocking of a race through excessive gestures but just changing the color of one's face in pictures?

It's a rather weird stance.

@Miram I guess it is easier to mock or imitate your own then🤔

@revenant what if your ancestors, like mine, had every skin color out there except the Simpson's 😅 That makes almost everyone you're own. But like in most instances, people will assume your race based on your skin color and not your DNA.

@Miram And it kind of shows they are the ones being racist. 😅

@Miram you look kind of kabyle to me though 😁

@revenant That's because you know North Africa. Most of the world doesn't know we exist. I literally had an African American kick me out of her dinner party because I told her I am African. LMAO
