Not that it matters, mostly, but I do want to get the words right. So we are reading a book on someone who is mixed Native American Ojibwe and white.
Some people in my class, let’s say, are Indian (from India) and white. We agreed that would be mixed, but for example, someone who is English and Swedish would not be because they are just white.
Would they not be mixed race, mixed ethnicity, or be neither?
Race was invented centuries before Darwin even considered that animals evolved from anything. Genetics doesn’t factor into it at all. The Europeans believed peoples were formed wholly from God’s will. They thought God made black people to be dominated by white people. That is to say, they made it all up without any hint of any adherence to truth.
