#yall just see brown skin and a big nose and you lose your mind

i need people, especially white people, to get used to the idea of ethnic groups not being defined by one or two specific traits. people need to realize that what you think might be specific to one group is actually easily found in countless other groups. im a darkskinned Black person, and there are Indians who are darker than me. I've seen Latinos with broader noses than I have and SEA/Eastern Asians with fuller lips than I have--none of that makes me less Black or any of them less of what they are. There's Africans with monolids and thin lips and small noses. while each group definitely has common traits, face shapes, tones, etc, its not like other things are absolutely excluded.
