Not really. The West African one has a more oval face, less pronounced jaw, smaller nose, and her jawline isn't as square. Plus several shades darker.

She's not bad looking.

But I see the similarity, most black American slaves came from West Africa so not surprising.

Haven't you heard? All "white people" are the same. Just some monolithic block of evil.

I'm pretty sure for it to be the average American face, it would have to be much fatter.

Except for the Asian Americans, of course.

There is a slight difference actually.

I'm saying making a distinction and calling it "African-American" is stupid. It's a stupid, meaningless and derivative term.



Suggesting that all "Africans" are the same is as moronic as saying all "white people" are the same.

You notice the differences more when you do a side by side. Both pretty good looking although, the black American female has a more square man jaw that's closely similar to the one the White American male has. Probably due to all that mixing.

It's simply bonkers bullshittery. A meaningless PC term that is more denigrating than anything because it lumps all the different ethnic and racial groups of an entire continent into one stupid term, whose implications are false.

Number one, there are Native Africans (not transplants) from all 3 major racial groups (caucasoid, negroid and mongoloid) represented in Africa.

The African countries North of the the Sahara are primarily native Caucasioid, and the original inhabitants of Madagascar are Mongoloid, so the notion that all native Africans are black Africans is false.

Number two, there are many different ethnicities and tribes of Sub-Saharan Africans, just like there are with European and Asian peoples.

To lump them altogether into one West African visual is patently false.

Would it make you feel better if I called them Black Africans and Black Americans?

They aren't talking about body, they're showing faces. Not all overweight people have fat faces. Especially if they gain fat in other places

Technically all native sub-Saharan Africans are Black Africans.

West African works.

Black American works the same as White American does.

But from your previous posts I know that you know that saying someone from Côte de Ivoire looks the same as someone from the Congo is the same as saying that a Finn looks the same as an Italian.
