@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io this is my late grandfather, tell me I don't have African blood (see pic).
Every time I went to US or UK and sometimes when applying to remote positions I had to fill in a form asking for race (sorry, "ethnicity"), as if this was the XIXth century. What am I supposed to say? White? Latino? Can I say black (no, of course not)?
And don't get me started about nationality: https://en.osm.town/@mdione/116923688553896688
