That's like saying "I always thought dark skinned black americans spoke like slaves and the light ones were educated"
I do not have round eyes. Nor does anyone in my family that I can think of.

I don't that is a fair comparison is eye shape that serious?

Get mad if you want...but it's true.
I've seen Nigerians be able to identify other Nigerians without the other party having uttered a word.
I've seen islanders do it as well..shrug |
True. The majority of the time, I can look at someone and know if they are haitian, or etc. I don't know why, many of us(nigerians, jamaicans, trinis, ghanians, etc.) can just tell when someone is from the same background or another one...

Anyway though, calm down Jolie, we didnt say anything negative. We asked about a certain eye shape we noticed...

That eye shape is kinda in your head. But you're right about me needing to calm down. I've had nothing but idiotic comments thrown at me all day today. I have this white colleage who's married to a very light skinned haitian woman who looks latina and he was talking about how her kids from her previous relationship caught the black. He didn't even realize what he said was insulting. I was fuming. His damn wife is probably a coon too.

Maybe like people can distinguish each other and I don't deny there being certain looks.
But all of y'all just look black to me.
I remember a Trini person and people were talking about she had that Trini look.
I didn't see it ...she looked like a black woman to me.
I see lot of AA's and they have diverse looks
