Actually my first guess was African American for the top one but if she told me she was from Ghana I'd believe her.

Why? She just has that look to me. If I had to guess the new picture you just posted she looks more mixed possibly so I would guess African American. Watch me be wrong for all of these lol.

Yeah the other girl is African American. But why is the mixed look considered African American when a lot of us dont even look that mixed like the girl in the picture. There are lot of AAs who look like the girl in the first pic but we get pegged the "African look'

I grew up around a lot of African Americans and many do look mixed but then there were others who looked straight up African. I think with a variety of genes there's naturally gonna be a variety of outcomes. Were we right on the second girl, is she Ethiopian?

Okay. so why do people presume mostly black AAs are from West Africa ? if there is a mixture of looks why are we excluded and made to feel like a separate group?

I don't know where she is from. She might be. I just was curious about everyone's opinion about her appearance. I wish I had her phenotype
