Do people from Sweden look the same as people from Italy?Quote:

The bolded bit or this 'Don't matter were they're from. But they're still black'. So would you count Italians as 'coloured'? Skin colour can also very greatly within places like India alone, from people as fair as you are to people as dark as Edison Miranda. Africans also look different from Asians, with completely different hair textures, face structure. They might have similar skintones in some cases but not all the time.Quote:

And re-read the post dumbass, I said Italians are brown i.e. tanned. They're not coloured. My cousin's husband is Italian and Ive been to Italy twice. I think I should know. Fact is Indians, africans etc are all coloured guys. Edison Miranda is columbian, yet he looks just like an african guy due to his skin colour.
There are plenty slang terms for skin color and ethnicity in general. I would almost consider "black" or "colored" a slang term in some circumstances. such as this one..Quote:

in lefty's defense, if you're taking some sort of survey and they have the options of white/black/hispanic/other on it and you're black (african-american) and from the dominican then you're still going to check off black.
but in jaz's defense, black is too broad of a term to generalize the way lefty was. my sister will never say that her ex bf was black, but that he was dominican. I'm italian, and i have tan skin, but no one calls me brown, except when they're joking.
As far as the topic goes.. you guys should come to the east coast of the US ;D.. loads of fun in the summer with the beaches and what not!......
This should clear it up ;D

Well my Dad is Italian, & I've been to Italy god knows how many times in my life, so I might just have a bit more cultural heritage there than you do. A lot of Italians are the same colour as many Indians, particularly in the South. Indians are generally differently coloured to Africans, go to Wembley and compare the average skin tone to the average skin tone of the Africans & Caribbeans in Harlesden. Most Indians consider themselves brown, myself as a mixed-race person think of myself more as brown than black, so if you say Italians are brown than that IS coloured. Coloured by definition would be anything but white. How is it game, set, match, if I clarified it by saying in some cases, I also said in some cases they would be as fair as you. I can know Indians who are fairer skinned than my Italian relatives, so do they stop being coloured then? Dunno why you chose the bizarre explanation of Edison Miranda, as I was just using his skin tone as an example of someone very dark.Quote:

Lol, watched that the other night, got a bit bored by it though. Embarassingly one of the assistant trainers at my gym is just like Gary Oldman's character in it (not pimping & murdering... I don't think) he even looks like him apart from the bung eyeQuote:
