That's just a matter of perception though. Not everyone sees biracial people one way or the other (some do however which is sad, but that's life). There are plenty of biracial people who have more black "features" than white "features" and vice versa. Derek Jeter comes to mind. Most people don't know his father is indeed Black.
You make a good point. I've actually known people who had one black parent but looked as white Caucasian as anyone else we would consider white. One girl had blond hair and green eyes.
Well, a mulatto parent, yes...a "telephone black" parent, very unlikely.
There are also mulattoes with white parents, "step back" in Spanish (paso atrĂ¡s).
Coloured people with blondish hair and blue eyes are "jabaos".

Nope, you're wrong. Father was as black as he could be and she was blond with green eyes. I know this goes against the obsessive master race mentality that runs rampant on these forums but the truth does not care what you believe.
Many Black Canadians/Americans have White and Native American ancestry, myself included (though my dad came here from Russia). The slaves were raped by slave masters or other White people who came to the US, and sometimes in later years, they had interracial relationships with them, as they did with the Natives. I'd say the main differences are that Black Americans, in general, are lighter than Africans (from White, and to some degree, Native, influences) and have eyes that are more slanted (from Native American influences).
The same goes for Black people in Latin America and the Caribbean.

True but keep in mind, it wasn't all rape that was responsible for the mixture. Blacks and Irish often lived in the same poor areas are often intermarried. Black Americans today have many Irish surnames and are the only non European group to have Irish surnames in large numbers.
Africans are definitely smaller on average than Black Americans...I lived in Houston Texas and NYC (both of which have large populations of Black Americans and Africans) and the Africans were definitely smaller....Africans are also less aggressive and have more narrow facial structures...
And African Black Women are much more feminine and less aggressive than Black American Women...
